My family wasn't in the music business, but they loved music.

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

I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.

It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.

Music and the music business are two different things.

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

Unfortunately, music devolved instead of evolved. The music business got into the hands of lawyers and accountants rather than the entrepreneurial creative people, and that's when the beginning of the end started. It's all based on money instead of art and creativity.
