It disturbed me that the music industry had gone down the drain, even though people were listening to more music than ever and from a greater diversity of artists.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.

The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.

When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.

I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.

As music became more profitable in the 1990s, it seemed like it attracted a lot of people who were just interested in the financial aspect of it, which is depressing.

The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.

The passion and spontaneity in music is all gone.

Pop music has been exhausted. The innocence has been exhausted. I think we've lost the ability to be blown away by music.

The music industry is a world of smoke and mirrors: they tell you exactly what they think you want to hear. And they are bare-faced lying. I tend to stay away from that.
