It's not like it used to be where everybody has a record company to belong to.

I don't think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.

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.

A record company used to be a very good thing, but they ended up soul-destroyingly trapping people in the accounting department. And you couldn't get any further, and the heads of each department were changing all the time, so you couldn't have any permanent relationship within the corporation.

I don't want a record company, but I need one, unfortunately.

A record is just a snapshot of where you are at any time.

Records... a record just shouldn't be that important.

When a record co. finds a guy now, they want to own everything. They want to own the rights to market that person's particular name. They want a piece of the action all the way through.

Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
