I definitely didn't have a lot of money. I had been fired from a record store. I was just trying to get by. I was on unemployment. I didn't have anything going full-time.
More material progress has been made during the past one hundred and fifty years under the American system of business enterprise than during all the preceding centuries in world history. This record of achievement is a challenge to those who would radically change that system.
It's impossible to write and produce a record when your parents are dying. I really tried, I really, really tried, but it just wouldn't come.
I cant immediately get all this coverage when my record comes out. The way I sell gold and platinum records is by being on the road.
I must have some sort of record in failing to get into the charts.
Just beat my record for most consecutive days without dying.
Some record labels want to package you in a certain way and we didn't want that. Once the record company saw we had some substance and were not a one hit wonder. They got 100% behind us.
I'm not really interested in anyone's record or anyone - I'm always fighting with myself. I always try to do my best.
We know how to work certain toys, and if you've got something in your head you know how to get in on tape, even if it's got an abstract sound to it. We are kind of producers as well as a band, so we're a self-contained unit. We can produce our own record as well as write it.
On each side of the war against war, hopes soar, hopes dive, hour by hour now. Resignations abound, timetables slip, and the world waits, mesmerised. I'm off to Melbourne to record an arts chat show.
I think that there's been a lot of people in Congress that didn't know all the ins and outs of the Constitution. I think we have a whole roomful of people that have record legislation in terms of quantity of pages that didn't read it.
I like to look on the bright side: Every day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
I try to record music that people can relate to.
China's got a billion people and a hit record over there is a million records. You know that ain't right.
We have a few artists that seem to sell enough to pay back what it costs to make a record.
As Eric Dolphy said 'Once you play the music, it's in the air. It's gone'. And that's true. But when you record it, it comes back to haunt you sometimes.
I suppose what you're doing as a painter is making a record of your trip through life. I can't think of any job that is quite as satisfactory as doing a painting.
I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
I do understand the perspective of die-hard fans who complain that we don't play the same as the record, but at the same time I think fans are getting an amazing deal.
