Neil Peart (Source Limelight Songfacts): "Success puts a strain on the friendship and it puts the strains on your day-to-day relationship, and it's something that we did go through, you know, we're not immune to it. But we were able to overcome it just through our closeness and we were able to help each other with difficulties like that and then we could deal with the pressures and things and that." Limelight is featured in the film Adventureland and I Love You, Man.
