When you get to a point where you're not beholden to a record company, then it's up to you to say, 'OK, enough knob-turning. We're done.'

You don't need a record company to turn you into anything.

Do not let any record company disturb your creative flow. You are not writing for the record company. You're writing for the public.

I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.

I see myself as the buffer between the band and the record company.

I didn't need to borrow money from the record company, because if I had my own publishing company, and I had my own writers, I'd have enough to get and do whatever I wanted to do.
