Quote

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 think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann
Image
Nightly you retrace your steps again to return to the scene of the crime. It's uncanny how you hover in the air of the wreckage that you left behind.
Aimee Mann
Image
Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
Aimee Mann
Image
Telling what you feel, trying to talk about what's important to you, does not make you weaker.
Aimee Mann
Image
Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.

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
Image
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.'

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

People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.
Aimee Mann
Image
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
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.
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
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
Aimee Mann
Image
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.
Aimee Mann
Image
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.

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

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

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.

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.
