I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things. ↗
I've always just adored music. It's my first love, really. I admire and respect people in the music business. You really have to work hard and diligently. Sometimes actors can be lazy and get away with it, but you can't do that if you're a musician. ↗
I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate. ↗
When you're in the music business, everything is very personal, because you are invested in everything; there's a very deep, personal attachment to your music. ↗
I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable. ↗
I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things. ↗
I am disappointed in the music business, I feel like a lot of people in the music business are phoney, there's a lot of people who will abuse and take my kindness. ↗
There are few words in the music business or in art that I'll say people or some writers are overgenerous with words like 'legend' or 'genius', 'he's a pioneer' and all of that. ↗
