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

That's the life, really, isn't it? You write. You record. You play. And it never grows old.

No one's promised anything. You could have the biggest record on radio and sell no records.

You go through life experiences. Each record captures a different turning point in my life.

I don't sit around with my friends and talk about money, ever. On a record, that's different.

Technology has allowed people to make records really cheap. You can make a record on a laptop.

History in its broadest aspect is a record of man's migrations from one environment to another.

We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.

The first time I heard a Billie Holiday record, I thought, 'What's so great about Billie Holiday?'

I've made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I'm allowed to write my own music.

I know if I don't tour people will forget the record and you run a high risk of the record failing.

In 2011, agricultural exports hit a record high and producers saw their best incomes in nearly 40 years.

I know I'm not gonna please everybody when I make a record. I don't let that affect any of my decisions.

It's not always easy to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the sufferings around one.

Basically, as everybody that has had a taste of the record business knows, they are gangsters and crooks.

I get butterflies every time a record comes out. I'm like, 'I hope people like it. I hope people buy it.'
