Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money, and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.

I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.

You rarely get money out of labels, except for when they open up a budget for a project. Other than that, it's a do-or-die type thing.

Major labels act as banks in terms of how they produce and release your album. No major label is really good or bad; they just 100 per cent operate as a business, which makes sense... no hard feelings.

You can't just buy things for the label - it's ridiculous.

As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

You know, I didn't have enough money to quit my day job... the myth of the major label deal. Nowadays, you have a tour bus and a stylist and all this stuff. But back then, no way.

If you're not on a major label today, you're not gonna get played. They've got the market sewed up.

Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we're not interested.

It's horrible when people are only interested in buying labels, because it doesn't bring them the happiness they think it will.
