Lose Quote by Gilbert O'Sullivan

“When I started out I thought just hearing one of my records on the radio would be magical. Fortunately, that naivety has always stayed with me. Because when you've had massive success and it tapers off people lose interest in you. So you have to work even harder to generate interest.” quote by Gilbert O'Sullivan
