I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I've always tried to stay clear of being labeled, putting a label on what type of music that I make.

I just try to make the best music that I can. People are going to label it whatever they're going to label it.

I hate labels; the problem is that if you say you're one thing, it's hard for people to imagine you as something else. Music is way more complicated than that.

I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they're going to hear, or won't come for this reason.

I never liked feeling like the world needed to have labels on everything, whether it's people or categories of music. I think everyone should be what they want to be, and you shouldn't have to look a certain way in order to fit this mold or that mold.

Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.

I know there are some labels that put out music for art's sake, but I don't know which ones.

Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we're not interested.

Creativity is much better when it's free. Someone can take it and sell it if that's what it needs, and from that standpoint, you have to have a label. If you could make your music and just give it away and somehow make a living - that would be the best scenario.
