More quotes by Aimee Mann
All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
Aimee Mann
I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
Aimee Mann
You know what, the drummer is my manager. He's busy. And I'm busy. I don't need the dough, though. But having said that, there's a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn't great.
Aimee Mann
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.
Aimee Mann
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.
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.
Aimee Mann
Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
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
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.
Aimee Mann
I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
Aimee Mann
When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.
Aimee Mann
Telling what you feel, trying to talk about what's important to you, does not make you weaker.
Aimee Mann
I probably would've kept slogging on that same chord change, because there's a tendency to have that happen. You get into the cadence in your mind, and it's hard to make the kind of left turn that you probably need to keep it really interesting.
Aimee Mann
It's in the dictionary. And when I find what it is, I'll write it down in case it comes up again, I'll be certain to avoid it.
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
You drew a bird that was here, a kind of sweet chanticleer. But with a terrible fear that the cage couldn't tame
Aimee Mann
Life is a series of problems to figure out how to solve gracefully and with dignity. That is what life is and I can't see it any other way.
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.
Aimee Mann
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.'
