Quote

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.

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.

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

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.

I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.

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.

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

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.

I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann

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

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

When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.

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

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.

I'm really into boxing. I go to a gym and I'm friends with a trainer who's a pretty famous boxing trainer and I train with him.

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.'

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.

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.
