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.

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

If your standards are low, you're going to stop pretty early on in the process.

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.'

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

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.

I might be stupid to think love is love, but I do.

It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann
Image
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
Image
I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

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