The record business has always mystified me. Sometimes there are reasons why things sell or don't sell that can't be understood by mere mortals.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really sell many records.
It would be ridiculous to say I don't want to sell records, but I trust my taste.
I think the music business is probably not happy with what we've done, because the people buying the record have actually got to pick what they want to buy, rather than being told what they should buy.
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
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.
We made records to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records. I still feel that way. I put out a record because I think it's beautiful, not necessarily commercial.
People assume I sell a lot more records than I actually do. I really don't sell any.
I don't particularly care how many records we sell any more because we've kind of bought all the equipment we want to buy.
And once the music is out there, when you're selling a record and selling music and people are going to do whatever they want with it, it's kind of hard to resist certain opportunities, especially in the record market now.
Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.
