Twain a Superstar That Doesn't Compete
Shania Twain doesn't look at success in music as competition
NASHVILLE, TN Monday Jan.24.2005 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Shania Twain says she does not look at success in music as a competition. She started out with Toby Keith, a very competitive guy, but says she's the complete opposite.
"He (Toby) says, 'Don't you just want to be a winner?' And I said, 'No. I really don't care.' I make music and that's what I do. And, of course, I want it to be successful, but I'm not looking at the scale and going, 'Who's beating me or whatever.' So there's just different types...."
"I, definitely, I'm in my own race. I don't have that nature. It just breeds jealously because then you're a sore loser. And how can you lose in music anyway? It's all a matter of opinion. There's no losing or winning. You put out your music and that's what your music is."
"Success, to me anyway, if you can feed yourself, if you can make a living at what you do, you're successful in life. Maybe that's because I come from a poor background."
