The hallmark of an artist is generosity.

If Picasso walked into Disney looking for a job, they would throw him out on the street. Couldn't draw good enough.

I can tell for sure, the technologists have made it clear that they don't care about musicians. The arts have been sacrificed on the altar of technological advancement.

I got out of high school, bought a recording studio and started operating it as an engineer and a producer.

Everything around a writer, or musician in the record business, probably everything in all the United States or in all of western civilization, is about competition.

The internet has surrounded television and turned television into an art form.

I don't hear any of the popular stuff unless it's good 'cause I pay no attention to popular culture, at all.
