thinking interesting who-cares
Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
thinking engaged
I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
recovery thinking people
In the '70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn't really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the '70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn't think you had a choice.
thinking feelings albums
Everyone's just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it's a huge antidote to that to have a concept album.
thinking proof great-writers
I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
love stupid thinking
I might be stupid to think love is love, but I do.
motivation thinking greed
I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed and you're going to hear it in the music.
labels benefits feels
At a major label you can start to feel that you're working for them, and that any work you do, you're never going to see any benefit.
artist trying records
If you're an artist trying to put out your own record on your own label, it's hard to get a distribution deal because no one wants to sign a deal with one entity. They want to sign distribution deals with labels, who have lots of product, lots of artists.
brain want needs
All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
stories lines littles
For me, there's a fine line between telling a story that's fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it's bloodless, a little too fictional.
selling-more records labels
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
fall years car
I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.
important records care
It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.
