Never try to make the same record twice, even when people are screaming for the same sound.

I tell each artist they have to grow toward a revenue stream.

In the past, people were going to record stores and buying albums or CDs. And the label was exposing their artist as much as possible and maybe getting them picked up by a major. Now I tell people to cut a good tune and have it up in the marketplace the next day. You better be prepared to give it away, and people will come pay to see you.

I think too much of the music industry is for the lawyer and accountant mentality.

Never have so many men treated women like our foes. They call 'em hoes, but they might as well call them foes, 'cause you are totally against the existence of somebody who should live their life as an equal human being. If not, any man knows, it's like we're not equal. You know, women are usually a little better than us.

I think right about now we have to beware of marketed Malcolms and Martins. Real people do real things.

You can't master time, but you have to work your hardest to manage it.
