The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

The music business is a crazy game, especially for somebody like me who is really a purist about the art. Trying to balance the pressures of commercialism, it's a tightrope. It's a fine line between sticking to your guns and insanity.

I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.

The music business is the most childish business in the world. Nobody knows what they're selling or why, but they sell it if it works.

Lots of people, from what I can see, just want to get into the music business for the glamour of it. But there isn't any, really. It's so up and down this industry, but if you really love it, nothing can stop you.

I wish the music business was a much easier thing, but you know what? Nothing easy is worth anything. So it is what it is. There comes a time when things can work out and everybody can be happy. And that's what it's all about in the end - everybody being happy and working it out.

The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.
