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.

It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.

The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
Aimee Mann
Image
It's funny, because my last record was a lot about isolation and people living in separate worlds that other people can't even understand, which drug addiction is the perfect negative example of.
Aimee Mann

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.
Aimee Mann

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.

The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.
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.

Image
I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.

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.

One of the things I've really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that.

You drew a bird that was here, a kind of sweet chanticleer. But with a terrible fear that the cage couldn't tame

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.

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.

It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
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.

Telling what you feel, trying to talk about what's important to you, does not make you weaker.

I thought everything was interesting. I wanted to go scuba diving and I wanted to learn how to surf. Because I grew up in the 60s girls were not allowed to do anything. As I've gotten older and realized that women can do things like that I thought, 'Why not? Now's the time.'
