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.
Aimee Mann

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.

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.
Aimee Mann
Image
People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.

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
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.

Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.
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
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
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
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
Image
The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.
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

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