Donald Passman on what successful artists have in common

“They definitely do things differently … The funny thing is, it’s not about talent, because I’ve known some incredibly talented people that have had only moderate careers or no careers at all.

I think that is something really big they have all had in common.” – Donald Passman, entertainment attorney, author of Everything You Need to Know about the Music Business, on what successful artists have in common
