The Count: Here's a rather long record. I hope I'm here at the end of it.
Profile has half the publishing and they control and administer the publishing and distribute and own the records, so our group is a 10-point crew. But we got a lot of money off of the shows.
There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.
Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.
Sooner or later a rider will emerge who will win more Tours. In every sport we have seen how the records eventually get broken and cycling is no exception.
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.
I just think we shouldn't get into counting coaches' records. I've never been for that... but I know that's just American society.
People ask me to record their answering machines all the time. I love it. It's a miracle to me that people want to hear back those characters.
I listen to archival and historic recordings. I love watching singers. I learned a lot from watching videos.
Composers today get a TV script on Friday and have to record on Tuesday. It's just dreadful to impose on gifted talent and expect decent music under these conditions.
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
I spent a lot of time in Tower Records. I'm a huge music nerd, and Tower was instrumental to me when I was growing up.
Before recording technology existed, you could not separate music from its social context.
I think that most of my romance comes out in my music. And if you look at my track record of three ex-wives, maybe there's something to that.
There's just no telling what I'll do. But I can say for certain I will continue to play, record, and put out music.
It's always very special for me to work Chicago. Both of the record companies I was with, early on, were based in Chicago. The music was always huge there.
Now the music industry is sort of like a Craigslist venture, right? Where you're making your own records and selling them online.
I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.
I really want to put the emphasis on creating music. I want to cut a record. I want to start going on tour.
