SUMMONER'S TALES...
"As a young artist, I had no money, no prospects. My situation seemed hopeless. That makes me appreciate what I have today all the more: my family and a beautiful house where I live. Okay, several beautiful houses. I have an exciting life. But if I'd had that from the beginning, I wouldn't appreciate it so much. That's why I wouldn't want to miss the years I spent toiling as an unknown musician. They were important."
