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

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.

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
When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.
Aimee Mann
Image
The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.
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 wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
Aimee Mann
Image
I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann
Image
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.

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.
