It disturbed me that the music industry had gone down the drain, even though people were listening to more music than ever and from a greater diversity of artists.

At the end of the day, I want the music industry to be larger than what it is today.

There are millions of people who consume music illegally every month. Just getting them into a legal service will make the music industry way bigger than it's ever been before.

There are half a billion people that listen to music online and the vast majority are doing so illegally. But if we bring those people over to the legal side and Spotify, what is going to happen is we are going to double the music industry and that will lead to more artists creating great new music.

It's interesting that the book publishing industry, on the iPad, has much more flexibility than the music industry had.

Everyone in the music industry is so fun and laid-back.
