Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.

I don't think the record company is aware of it. Because they just bury my albums and don't release them.

Do not let any record company disturb your creative flow. You are not writing for the record company. You're writing for the public.

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

People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me.

Record companies would rather you stay dumb, not even think of it as a business, so they can either rip you off or get you out of the way in five years to make way for the new groups.

Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.

But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.
