Aimee Mann Quotes

I’m selling more records on my own than I did on major labels Picture Quote #1

I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I’m really working on him about that Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of music that sounds like it’s literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument Picture Quote #1

At a major label you can start to feel that you’re working for them, and that any work you do, you’re never going to see any benefit Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they’ve never heard before. That’s just unreasonable Picture Quote #1

Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can’t stop. It’s easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life Picture Quote #1

In the 70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn’t really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the 70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn’t think you had a choice Picture Quote #1

It’s more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that’s good and where the music is used in a really great way. That’s the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don’t care Picture Quote #1

One of the things I’ve really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that Picture Quote #1

You know what, the drummer is my manager. He’s busy. and I’m busy. I don’t need the dough, though. But having said that, there’s a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn’t great Picture Quote #1

It’s in the dictionary. And when I find what it is, I’ll write it down in case it comes up again, I’ll be certain to avoid it Picture Quote #1

But I can’t confront the doubts I have. I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I’m condemning the future to death so it can match the past Picture Quote #1

Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won’t put these futures back together. All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn’t be enough to bring me back to zero Picture Quote #1

Nightly you retrace your steps again to return to the scene of the crime. It’s uncanny how you hover in the air of the wreckage that you left behind Picture Quote #1

Listen, I’m out of this system, man, I’m out... I’m doing better than ever. I couldn’t be more happy Picture Quote #1

I don’t envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways Picture Quote #1

What’s interesting to me is drama and conflict. Things aren’t interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, because my last record was a lot about isolation and people living in separate worlds that other people can’t even understand, which drug addiction is the perfect negative example of Picture Quote #1

I’m really into boxing. I go to a gym and I’m friends with a trainer who’s a pretty famous boxing trainer and I train with him Picture Quote #1

Everyone’s just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it’s a huge antidote to that to have a concept album Picture Quote #1

For me, there’s a fine line between telling a story that’s fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it’s bloodless, a little too fictional Picture Quote #1

Something gets lost when you translate. It’s hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing Picture Quote #1

I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor Picture Quote #1

It really doesn’t matter to me what people say about me anymore Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting Picture Quote #1

Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone Picture Quote #1

I might be stupid to think love is love, but I do Picture Quote #1

It’s not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow Picture Quote #1

I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged Picture Quote #1

I certainly understand that we’re all trying to make a living, but I’m not thinking about that when I’m making it. And if that’s your sole motivation, it’s going to reflect that narcissistic greed and you’re going to hear it in the music Picture Quote #1
