Quote

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.

I suppose I should be happy to be misread better be that than some of the other things I have become.

People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.

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.

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

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

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.

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

All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
Aimee Mann
Image
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.

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
Aimee Mann
Image
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
Image
Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
Aimee Mann
Image
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

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

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.

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

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 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

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.
