That's my favorite subject because it really levels the playing field for artists these days. You don't have to sell out to the record company. You don't have to get a five hundred thousand dollars, or whatever, and pay them back for the rest of your life to record a record.

You want to sell records, but if you want to call yourself an artist, your job is how you express yourself.

I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.

I don't really sell many records.

I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.

I would love to sell millions of records, but that's never gonna be the case.

I suspect that we might actually start selling some records with these artists in about 10 years. Some the people who invested, they're a little tight-because it's a lot of money to start up a company.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.

A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist.
