artist trying records
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.
selling-more records labels
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
important records care
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.
knowing interesting records
Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.
people support records
People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.
american-musician
Listen, I'm out of this system, man, I'm out... I'm doing better than ever. I couldn't be more happy.
across boxer certain concept creative describe fit friend term terms uses
I don't think it's really a term you would come across in boxing. I have a friend who is a boxer who uses creative terms to describe certain aspects, and I thought it was an interesting-sounding term that would fit in with the concept of the album.
good people
I didn't want to play these people any more songs and have them say that they weren't good enough. So my response was to just not be able to write anymore. I know that's not the healthiest of responses.
emotion expect feeling life people robotic strip yearn
People yearn after this robotic dream, but you can't strip your life of all meaning, emotion and feeling and expect to function.
cool last matter temporary
I feel really special, I do. No matter how temporary it may be. You're only as cool as your last cool project.
labels benefits feels
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.
brain want needs
All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
stories lines littles
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.
fall years car
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.
