More quotes by 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
Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.
Aimee Mann
Image
Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.
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
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

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.

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 don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
Aimee Mann
Image
It's in the dictionary. And when I find what it is, I'll write it down in case it comes up again, I'll be certain to avoid it.
Aimee Mann
Image
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
Aimee Mann
Image
All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
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
If your standards are low, you're going to stop pretty early on in the process.
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
Image
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
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.

It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.

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

I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
