I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.
One of the first albums that I remember, rap albums I remember really listening to, was LL Cool J 'Mama Said Knock You Out.'
I think a lot of my dreams have come true, and my next dream is to have a No. 1 selling album. A Grammy-award-winning album.
Billboard called my solo album, 'Standing In The Spotlight,' a great party album and even said that my raps put the Beastie Boys to shame.
It was weird - my parents would let me have some Green Day albums but not all Green Day albums.
I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.
There was a mission: To match the cover of 'Extraordinary' to the cover of the paperback 'Impossible,' which was commercially successful. Consider the outdoor natural setting, the single girl in motion with her hair blowing, and the cursive font used...
Even English-teacher bookworms need friends and bars.
When my 'Scientific American' arrives every month, I read it cover to cover.
My very first magazine cover was the National Enquirer.
A great affair covers up a small matter.
You can't tell a book by its cover.
Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.
MTV made a huge impact. Heavy rotation took you from selling 1m albums to 20m albums, and that meant a lot of dough.
My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There's something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I'd love to have that legacy.
I knew I was destined to do a solo album, but when I did that first album in 1978, I had no idea it was going to be that well received.
'Rock n' Roll Animal,' the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.
In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
I cover media people the way they cover politicians.
I believe the Bible is the word of God from cover to cover.
