Quote

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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
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
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
Aimee Mann
Image
I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
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
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.
Aimee Mann
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.
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.
Aimee Mann

People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.
Aimee Mann
Image
I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
