Cause I'm a musician, I'm not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.

Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.

You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.

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.

There's a lot of risk in putting what you suspect you really are into your music.

Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.

The record business is dangerous to the health of bands and individuals, which is something I'm just now learning. But it's not dangerous in any of the ways people think; it's not that they try to make you compromise your art. That's not the problem.

If you are a musician and you don't show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.
