More quotes by 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
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
Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.
Aimee Mann
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
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
The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.
Aimee Mann
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
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
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
I might be stupid to think love is love, but I do.
Aimee Mann
Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
Aimee Mann
Telling what you feel, trying to talk about what's important to you, does not make you weaker.
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
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
Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.
Aimee Mann
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.
Aimee Mann
Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won't put these futures back together. All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me back to zero.
Aimee Mann
It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.
Aimee Mann
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
Aimee Mann
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.
Aimee Mann
