I write for myself. I don't write because I have a record coming out. I write because I want to. I need to.
I am financing the recording myself. So I have no big names to drop.
I made a record of montage sounds in '99 under the name Korena Pang, but it was never put out because it didn't do it for me.
I've almost never played the 'Smiths' records, once they've gone out. I was always like that and probably always will be.
Everything needs to be public. The legitimacy of the courts comes from the fact that they reason openly, on the record, based on facts.
Americans spend 3 billion hours per year filling out tax forms and keeping tax records.
I'm admittedly a record guy. Singles and I are a different beast. I'm definitely an overall picture thinker.
When I started to recording, I gave the name of Honeyboy, but my people only knew me by Honey.
With Celine Dion, we were selling 25 million records a pop. 'Pop' stands for 'popular.' It means we're plugging into the masses.
Before recording my 'Homeland' audition on my iPhone in my bedroom in Streatham, I hadn't worked or had an audition in the U.K. for nine months.
If I'm judged against my peers, rather than anyone else we could both think of, then I reckon I deserve to make records.
When I came out rapping on my record, a lot of people said, Oh, you just want to be like Puff.
I sketch while I'm on set, and it's a way for me to record all of the locations I've been to. I don't keep a diary but a sketchbook.
We have a partnership deal with New Line Records, which is part of New Line Cinema, and... I worked on that.
Oh, I'll tell you about 'Anyone Can Whistle' - the lesson I learned with doing that record is that the simplest songs are the hardest to do.
When I started half.com, our three biggest competitors were Borders, Tower Records and Blockbuster Video.
Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.
Everything changes all the time, and unfortunately, everyone who knows what you do by buying records only hears a small amount of what's going on in your life.
Acting and recording an album at the same time, that's not my sport. I could write a movie when my attention was paid to that. But I'm good at one thing at a time.
It used to be that if you had a pretty good record, you could stop by a station in Little Rock or Atlanta and let the DJ listen to it. No way something like that can happen now.
