I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's no paycheck at the end; it's more of a 'whatever is left over' kind of situation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Back home, playing music is never anything you imagine you can do for a living. It's what you do after work.
I feel pretty used by the music industry, in that my contracts are written in such a way that I don't get paid. And that makes me wanna quit working for whoever thinks it is that I work for them. But I've clearly got a job that I can't quit.
I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.
Acting kind of pays my bills more than music does.
If you're going into music, work on your music and do it as well as you can. And look at it as a business. I'm in it to make a living, too.
Being my own boss and working inside an industry that's not really an industry, I need to keep busy and keep working. The only way to make money in music - unless you're managing someone - is to tour, and even that depends on where you are at.
Well, first of all, they're all about the music and all I care about in my professional career is the music.
Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.
I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.
