I never expected to make a lot of money from music.

There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.

I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.

But anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows it's not only about the music.

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.

You know, I never did music for money. I did music to hear myself in the club, and to hear my creation on the radio.

It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.

I've always treated the music business as a business.

I mean, the way I see it is, every penny I've ever made through music is free money.

The fact that people still know us is, in my opinion, a result of our music and of the big money that runs the music industry today. The people who control the industry are accountants who recycle everything in new, nostalgic packages, and everything else, to make more money.
