If your record doesn't sell that well, man, who cares? All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't care about the gold records and all of that stuff. I care about what we do onstage, and the joy that we bring to people.
Interested listeners have only to hear the recording to find out if those guys, who go to such pains to undervalue my work, are right. All people have to do is listen to realize it is a beautiful record.
You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.
All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
Who you are as a performer is one thing, but when you're making records, you're dealing with musicians' tastes, their goals, their wants, their needs, everyone's individual pride.
I don't use sex to sell records, obviously, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't feel like I have to make an effort to look good when I go out onstage, to wear something pretty.
We are a business, and you do a little of what you think's right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums.
I respect the people who buy my records and come to my concerts. It's only fair that I always try to give them the very best that's in me. After all, I need them more than they need me.
I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.
It's a pleasure playing your big hit records and it's a real joy to see the audience.
