Better Quote by Ron Mael
“In a certain way, longevity is its own kind of success. While we would like to be in the position of those bands that are secure in ways that maybe we're not, we kind of feel like we're in a better position. We're bitter for short periods of time, but in the long run, we think we won out.”
