You get to a point where you really can't manage more artists, because representing artists takes a lot of time.

Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.

Artists need support, time and money to develop their ideas, and if people rip stuff off, you don't have to be that brilliant to figure out that you're ultimately going to affect the end product.

There's a bunch of people who sit around and make excuses for themselves and get upset with artists, but you already know what this is - it's an ego-driven business.

Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.

Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.

A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.

Back in the early days like for the Temptations, Supremes and Four Tops, artist development was alive in record companies. Every artist had a moment to develop the record visually. When the web took over and camera phones, it stripped the artists of the power to figure it out. So there's a need to bridge that gap and that's my job.
