I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.

Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.

I think there is a big difference between the music business and music. And my relationship is to music, not music business. I think the business will keep changing, but music won't. Music will be there.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

The 'music industry' is not a term I use. I tend to concentrate on music, and the music business is something different.

I've always treated the music business as a business.

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.

There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.

The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.
