“You gotta’ sell a million records before you talk about getting paid at a major [label].”

One thing you can’t do to a fan is change their heart about somebody.

You just have to realize that no matter how delectable that meal looks, there’s a chance that you might not get to eat it while it’s hot.

They want to sign distribution deals with labels, who have lots of product, lots of artists.

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that’s interesting.

If you’re an artist trying to put out your own record on your own label, it’s hard to get a distribution deal because no one wants to sign a deal with one entity.

As soon as you believe that a label you’ve put on yourself is true, you’ve limited something that is literally limitless, you’ve limited who you are into nothing but a thought.

I have never gotten into the label thing.

The label sort of capitalized on that desperation and that competition.

I think ultimately what you really want is a few people within any label that are into the band enough to really work on it every day for a long time and to actually try a little bit.

But obviously, the major labels have more money to spend, so if they feel like spending it, they have bigger resources there when you need them.
