More quotes by Aimee Mann
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
Aimee Mann
Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can't stop. It's easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life.
Aimee Mann
Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

I suppose I should be happy to be misread better be that than some of the other things I have become.
Aimee Mann

Aimee Mann
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.
Aimee Mann
It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.
Aimee Mann
But I can't confront the doubts I have. I can't admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.
Aimee Mann
I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann
What's interesting to me is drama and conflict. Things aren't interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.
Aimee Mann
The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.
Aimee Mann
I might be stupid to think love is love, but I do.
Aimee Mann
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.
