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

More quotes by Aimee Mann
If your standards are low, you're going to stop pretty early on in the process.
Aimee Mann
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.
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
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
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
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
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
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
I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
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
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
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
Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.
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
I suppose I should be happy to be misread better be that than some of the other things I have become.
Aimee Mann
Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.
Aimee Mann
I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.
Aimee Mann
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
Aimee Mann
Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.
