The essence of show business is, if you see a tight-rope walker go across a tight rope, everybody claps. But, if you see him wobble, everybody gasps.

I figured out early on what I wanted to do.

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.

The essence of show business is, if you see a tight-rope walker go across a tight rope, everybody claps. But, if you see him wobble, everybody gasps.

My advice for young people is that, if you want to be a musician, the thing to do is practice eight hours a day.

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.
