Hundreds of Dogs
In a dialogue with Happy, Sam Fender humorously described his ultimate success scenario as inhabiting a home filled with countless dogs:
HAPPY: How would you personally define success as an artist?
SAM: Hmm I dunno, it’s a sliding scale, success, for people isn’t it? As cringe as it sounds, and this is just a platitude again, I’m just spitting platitudes because that’s what most people do… but I think for me success is being able to do the thing that I love comfortably until I’ve got a house full of dogs. If I can get to the stage where I’ve got a fuck load of dogs, then I’ll be happy. Like, I tell you what. This would be massive success; no mortgage, still writing music and fucking loads of dogs. I mean not fucking dogs, just having loads of them.
