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.

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

The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money.

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

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

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

Some people are the greatest people on Earth with good hearts and will get in the studio and make the most negative music in the world for the sake of success. That's what the music business does to you. That's what capitalism does to you.

Music and the music business are two different things.

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.

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