The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.

Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business.

I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Being honest is my job. That's what music is for me.

The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.
