Quote

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.'

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.

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.

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
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

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

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.

I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.

I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

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

All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
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
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
Aimee Mann

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