Everyone needs to keep his integrity, but an artist needs to keep his integrity even more than a businessman because his art comes from a place of truth. Once he forgets who he is, he's lost. I suppose it depends upon your definition of "success," also. Did you hear the one about the attorney who was approached by the devil who told him he'd make the attorney the most successful attorney in the entire music business. All he wanted in return was his soul, his wife and children's souls and the souls of all their unborn children. The attorney replied,"What's the catch?"
