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
Image
I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
Aimee Mann
Image
I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.

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.

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
Image
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.

The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
Aimee Mann
Image
It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.
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
Image
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
Image
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
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.

Everyone's just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it's a huge antidote to that to have a concept album.

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
