“There’s artists that I’m working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.”

The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.

There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it’s a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there’s something they have that makes them different and commercial.

I enjoy music that is commercial.

I would say that I’ve been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they’ll move forward too.

Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I’m very grateful.

I could easily not be the person that people know.

The reality is, some people don’t want you to change or go anywhere different.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

I’m continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren’t like producers, and can’t hear the diamond in the rough.

The Internet is a whole new world opening up.

It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it’s time to do the vocals.

I don’t go to that many Broadway shows, so I can’t really say anything.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

Labels cloud our vision and distract us from seeing how much we have in common with one another.

The band has always been such a huge part of my life and it kept me very busy. That, in combination with something like running a record label, just means my whole life revolves completely around metal music and I can’t do that anymore.

If you read a label and just look up the ingredients, you’ll be able to figure out really easily what’s good for you and what’s bad.

My customer isn’t wrapped up in labels and money.

Anger was a waste of time and energy. Anger was useless.”Anger” was the label given to the emotion that accomplished nothing.

Putting a label [homosexual] on myself was a big step forward…once I said, ‘Yes, that’s me, that’s what I am,’ I was able to work with it.

Figure out what past efforts amounted to nothing and label them your “not to do” list. Post the list where you’ll see it.

I don’t necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It’s just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.
