More quotes by 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.
Aimee Mann
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
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
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
But I can't confront the doubts I have. I can't admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.
Aimee Mann
The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.
Aimee Mann
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
Aimee Mann
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 don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
Aimee Mann
When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.
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.
Aimee Mann
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
Aimee Mann
I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann
Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.
Aimee Mann
People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.
Aimee Mann
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
Aimee Mann
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
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
I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
Aimee Mann
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
