I started my own record label.
I'm a multi-platinum recording artist; my passion is food.
My juices needed restoring. I needed a sabbatical from the record business.
I recorded with Sinatra, but the recording business is a very strange strata right now.
I have a pretty good record of winning in court.
Money don't rule me, record companies don't rule me.
I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.
Artists were nurtured back in the '70s. Their music was developed by the record companies.
I don't get involved in record label politics.
We used to go to Studio 54 - an amazing place.
I started off as a studio pianist in Hollywood.
The flow of Guiness into the studio was inspirational as well as nutritive.
With 'Love And Basketball,' every studio turned it down.
I like studios. I just don't like bureaucracies.
My dad and my uncles used to always be in the studio at my house.
Things like 'Lucky Man' were never written to even be a record, let alone a hit record.
I keep on calling them records because they will always be records to me.
The record company stay out of my way. Whenever the record is finished, they take it.
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
The Radiohead record, The Bends is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
After we wrote The Wreckoning, our record label did listen.
