Record Quotes

With my quick success, I didn’t have time to learn the ropes of the music business. Because my first record was such a hit, I was terribly spoiled and I thought I couldn’t do anything wrong. I was also desperate to make tons of money because of my responsibility to my daughter. And there was no longer any joy in making music Picture Quote #1

I got into music when I was a little boy. My dad was always into jazz. I got my education from him. The first time I listened to jazz, he gave me a Thelonious Monk record. It was so different from anything I had ever heard. It took me a while to understand it, and I liked that. I liked the fact that it wasn’t immediately palatable Picture Quote #1

The very first time I ever heard anything of mine on the radio, I was in New Jersey, and I was in my teens. I did my first record, which was an old standard called ‘My Mother’s Eyes.’ It was the old Georgie Jessel theme. I heard it on local radio out of Newark. And it was very exciting! Picture Quote #1

I think the best thing we can do is sell that idea of smaller government - of fiscal responsibility vs. the Obama record. Obama made promises, and on every promise in which he’s actually delivered, things have gotten worse instead of better. He said if we get ObamaCare it’ll help, but health care prices went up Picture Quote #1

I’m just getting people warmed up a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time, so I can fully come with, like, a ‘Fix You’ - type record, or ‘One’ by U2 Picture Quote #1

When you’re in a band with three writers, three great writers, you only get one third of the writer thing. So that’s the whole reason that I did a solo career. And that’s, you know, when I told Fleetwood Mac I was going to do that, they were of course terrified that I would do that record and then that I would quit Picture Quote #1

My favorite record of all time is Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk. It’s made up of a bunch of songs that don’t really sound the same, but they all go really well together Picture Quote #1

If it has to be put in a box, it’s a country record. But it’s hard to do that, because it is inspired and influenced by the history of music in two different people’s backgrounds. I think the focal point for many is the harmonies, and I think that is what is special and unique about it Picture Quote #1

I took the song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face from a folk singer called Bonnie Dobson. I knew her and she had a record with that track on it Picture Quote #1

You are trying to do a more difficult thing than record folk songs; you are trying to record life Picture Quote #1

I’m one of those foolish people who believe the glory days of the record industry aren’t behind us. They’re actually ahead of us Picture Quote #1

I have a great track record, and I have never been sued. If I can’t find someone for someone, I refer them out. I have an affiliate division of matchmakers all over the world that I work with. Men like certain types of women, and I can subcontract that out to foreign countries Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record Picture Quote #1

We’re resolving our differences and we’re looking forward to putting out a record next year Picture Quote #1

Texas is my mind’s country, that place I most want to understand and record and preserve. Four generations of my people sleep in its soil; I have children there, and a grandson; the dead past and the living future tie me to it Picture Quote #1

Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true; To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellowmen sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heav’n securely Picture Quote #1

When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs. A Frank Sinatra album sets a certain mood, just as a Clash record sets another Picture Quote #1

I spent a long time experimenting, saying, ‘Here’s a record that’s free, or $5 if you want a nice version or $250 if you’d like a really nice coffee-table thing.’ Everything felt like the right thing to do at the time and then six months later would feel tired. And I would feel tired. So that’s one reason for returning to a major label Picture Quote #1

A respectable-sized audience hasn’t really been able to follow developments in jazz since the free jazz movement in the 60s. Some of them can’t even get with John Coltrane. Audiences are diminishing more and more rapidly. Some of the top young musicians with something new to say can’t get record companies to put out their stuff Picture Quote #1

Kids are taking music for free all the time. They have Spotify, Pandora... The record companies aren’t making the kind of music that they used to make. Artists make their money on tours, not from album sales Picture Quote #1

I was free from fear for the first time ever while making the music. Fear’s job is to distract us from the truth. There’s no fear on my record Picture Quote #1

At times, I will get in the studio and force myself to just write an entire front-to-back record, and ‘Let Me Go’ is one of these Picture Quote #1

Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it’s oddly unnatural Picture Quote #1

It’s funny that people think because you don’t have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you’re dead when you’re not in the public eye Picture Quote #1

With the second record (2012’s Anxiety), I was quite jaded, and exhausted, and tired. With this third record, I feel that I’ve come full circle. I had gotten to the absolute pinnacle of how bad someone could feel Picture Quote #1

Music is also supposed to be fun. On this record, (titled ‘III’), I really had the desire again to jump back into some good-time, fun-loving songs Picture Quote #1

I’m gonna perform on one of the nights. Good clean fun; we’re not going to jail. For the record Picture Quote #1

I will say this, - though: If it is true that fusion will put unlimited amounts of energy into our hands, then I’m worried. Our record on this score is extremely poor Picture Quote #1

As millions of Americans look for work, the Obama campaign and Democrats are attempting to distract attention away from this administration’s dismal record. The attack they have launched against Mitt Romney shows just how worried they are about facing him in the general election Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, you release an album and the record company just about ignores it, and so many people don’t even know it’s out. And I’m not about to jump up and down shouting, Hey folks, look at me! I’m cool and groovy! That’s not what George Harrison is all about Picture Quote #1
