Yes, I would loved to have just sustained myself through my art, but less than one in a billion musicians gets that life. So rather than being like, 'I'm an exception!', like a moron, I thought I'd get a real job.

When I've worked with established artists, I've naturally been more restricted, but you still have to take risks and push yourself to do something different.

You get to a point where you really can't manage more artists, because representing artists takes a lot of time.

As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.

Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.

We don't have real hours and we don't have a boss, so artists create rules for themselves that they then break. It's transgressive in such a personal way.

In general, I don't feel artists should need producers.

To be an artist, you need to play inside your work.

I'd always been on the giving end of music and creating.
