At first, I wanted to start my own label, but it was such a full-time job that it became too much.

I started my own record label.

Starting my own label was more out of necessity. I'm not going to sit around and wait for labels to come screaming.

You know, I didn't have enough money to quit my day job... the myth of the major label deal. Nowadays, you have a tour bus and a stylist and all this stuff. But back then, no way.

I wanted to produce Nancy LaMott's albums, so I created my own record company.

The reason I never wanted to sign with a big label was because I didn't want no one telling me how to make my music.

I was the first actress who branded her own line at a time when everyone just lent their name to a product. Everyone said I shouldn't do it, but it was probably the best thing I've ever done.

A lot of things encouraged me to start my label. I think it's very important for an artist to know how many records they've sold and where they've sold. I know that I have never been treated the way I'm supposed to be treated - like an artist. That's why I do things for myself. I feel like I'm a free man.

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.
