“As a singer, she's in the music industry. As a duck farmer, I’m in the noise business. The product I pulse through the air invisibly is better for your ears.”
― Music is fluid, and my saxophone overflows when my ducks slosh in the sounds I make in elevators.

“The most devastating thing artists can do to their career is get in their own way, and way too many people do. It’s not the labels, the industry, the fans, the cities, the economy, the social media, the marketing, the promoting, the “right time,” the music, or whatever other excuse you can come up with that determines whether you succeed or you fail. It is you—no one else.”

“The true tragedy of life does not lie in dreaming big and falling short; it lies in dreaming too small and achieving those meager dreams. Sadly, this is precisely what is happening in today’s world. These toxic cultural environments encourage us to settle for dreams far beneath our true potential, motivating us to pursue vulgar and base desires that will never fulfill our genuine purpose in life.”

“The average artist has a naïve, unrealistic, and disconnected view of what the music industry is, how it works, what is involved in “making it”, and what actually is happening behind the scenes. Too many artists take at face value what they see on some TV documentary or read in a fan magazine. Whether you are working with others in a band, looking to connect with a manager, an agent, a label, or an investor, or you just want to work in the industry, it is more crucial than ever to know what you are working for and toward.”

“I'd gotten used to lip-synching without blushing; that's the way it was done. Very few shows were live. We were getting a little bit cynical about the tripe market. You realized that you were really in one of the sleaziest businesses there is, without actually being a gangster. It was a business where the only time people laughed was when they'd screwed someone else over.”

“Through the passage of time there was one format that could rival the sound quality of any other, the analog reel-to-reel tape recorder, and this is her story. The reel-to-reel recorder was critical to the widespread surge in global music consumption in the 1950's and beyond, even sound engineers of today will tell you that the reel-to-reel format is extremely high in fidelity, and with the correct tape, the correct usage and right machine, wonders can still be recorded in the recording studio using magnetic reel-to-reel tape recorders”

“I don't know. It's difficult being nice. I do like to be positive and I do like to do the right thing and I do like harmony. I don't get off on being a ... (whispers) 'cunt'.”

“In the modern music industry, the streaming platforms, in their infinite wisdom, dictate what reaches our ears. The vicious cycle of recommendation engines often confines artists to their established genres, trapping them in an echo chamber of their own sound. God forbid someone ventures into new territory; the algorithms scoff and say, "No, sir, we're sticking to the algorithmically approved beats.”

“I find it an interesting concept, that of The House. I dreaded it terribly for years but my own shoulders have long been crushed under it. Yet, still I rose and fear it no more.
The House is not just our ancestral home of Somerset Hall. That may be its physical aspect, but the concept spans so much wider than the estate itself. The House is a whole dynamic yet, timeless concept, that passes from generation to generation, probably until the end of the World. And even so, I am not so certain about that.”

“Do not be surprised when the educated executives working for the major record labels have approved for everyone to hear such a vast amount of decadent and shameful lyrics. The primary objective of such music is not to create artful masterpieces or provide wholesome entertainment. Instead, from the very beginning of the production process, the intention has been to forge a degraded and intellectually inert vocabulary that aims to gradually dumb down the listener, bit by bit.”

“I explained my experience after ten years in the Los Angeles music industry. The ruthless competition. The scheming sharks looking for any opportunity to devour the weak. The masks that many wear to conceal a cold, calculated agenda. The transactional conversations disguised as friendly interactions. How the desperation to get a little more recognition, to get a little closer to an artist, to get that Instagram mention or land a spot on Billboard’s 30 under 30 list, drives even the most kind and empathetic people to view others as a mere utility.”

“Every band is a foreign country, with its peculiar customs and dialects, slang and standards. But every band is also (when it works) a small business, a romance, an employer/employee dynamic, a hierarchy, a creative collaboration, and something between a family—siblings or cousins, sometimes literally—and a gang.”

“Very few women who are my age are still selling records or making waves in the music industry (Sia wore a bag on her head and a wig to cover her face), and yet that's not because we no longer have things to say. Of course we do. I have so much to say and the experience to match it. It's because the media insist on focusing on a woman's age. The sooner we stop putting this ridiculous pressure on ourselves to be young forever and society learns to deal with the fact that women's faces will change as they get older, the better.”
