Increasingly prices are set by sellers to raise their prices without a loss of sales sufficient to wipe out the gain.
You learn how to be an individual quick after 15 schools, man. After the first five or six, you realize you're always gonna be the new kid.
I know what I'm missing. I know what I have to work on. Coloratura. And I sing sharp sometimes. It happens when I'm nervous.
Surround yourself with people you can always learn something from. Always work with people that are better at their craft than you are.
You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.
Maybe in past years, perhaps women didn't feel quite as comfortable with revealing themselves, and their skills and their crafts... and now we are, so we're out there, just like the guys.
Generally my feeling is that I think women are just in a universal way coming out, coming to their own more. And they have more opportunity, and basically we're equal.
I've had women who move to the towns I'm living in, just pack up and move there, never even met 'em before, 'cause they heard I lived there.
Comedians get jokes offered to them, rock stars get women and underwear thrown onstage, and I get guys that want to take me fishing.
Guys don't really don't wanna hear if it's really smart, and women feel uncomfortable if you reveal stuff they're going to have to remember they did themselves.
I get so much mail from young women saying that they are so insecure when they look at me, but they don't realize all of the flaws that I have.
Most of man's finest heroism is merely disguised necessity.
A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
Most women would not be happy being me. People say, 'But you're alone.' But I don't feel alone. I feel very un-alone.
Isn't it amazing that we are all made in God's image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?
The thing that's tricky is sometimes the best voices - just because someone hits the big notes and sounds amazing - it doesn't necessarily mean they make the greatest artists.
We started combining the use of light and the use of theatrics and the use of as many art forms as possible, and it's still growing - that's the whole idea of it.
If you're an artist, it's OK to put your money into your art. The advantage, in hindsight, is that you become the film, and the film becomes you; you breathe it.
I like the platform to show your art and everything that goes along with that. To show your voice and hopefully find films that are more politically driven, films that maybe inspire.
I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.
Art is the child of Nature; yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.
