Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.

We're not trying to change the world; just music.
