Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik – HuffPost 6.28.13

Mike Ragogna: Nicely said. Hey, what advice do you have for new artists?

John Rzeznik: Wow. You know what? Don’t worry about becoming a rock star. And if you do get to become a rock star, don’t act like one.

MR: Is there anything you can add as far as how they approach it creatively?

JR: I think staying really honest in your own process no matter what it is and not worrying about the outcome. “Is this going to get me my record deal? Is this going to make me famous?” Asking yourself results questions is just… Nah. You just wind up getting into trouble. You don’t really keep the process clean when you start thinking about the end result.
