I know there are some labels that put out music for art's sake, but I don't know which ones.
Joshua Homme

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.
Rosanna Arquette

I mean Iggy and The Stooges first couple of albums I think sold twenty five thousand between the two of them you know and so to talk in terms of an underground I mean you have to go really to the independent labels and things like that.
Lester Bangs

I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.
Malcolm Wilson

I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they're going to hear, or won't come for this reason.
Chuck Mangione

I think ethnic and regional labels are insulting to writers and really put restrictions on them. People don't think your work is quite as universal.
James Welch

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.
Joshua Homme

I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don't understand.
Adam Jones

I think that's the problem in a lot of music. We've got these record labels.
Teena Marie

I try not to name too many labels - not because it's not cool, but because it starts getting political.
Nelly

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.
Dan Hicks

I'm delighted about the track's success in the sports world, but the frustrating thing is, I don't think I got rich on it. The labels and publishers did very cheap deals on our songs.
Alan Parsons

I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.
Ahmed Best

I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age, it tends to get categorized and labeled, and I think labels are for food. Canned food.
Michael Stipe

I've always loved words. I ate up all the books I could get my hands on, and when I couldn't get books, I read candy wrappers and labels on cereal and toothpaste boxes.
Judy Holliday

I've tried to avoid labels, but they always find you.
Poppy Z. Brite

In the early 1970s. 1971, '72. The rooms were closing down, record labels weren't signing acoustic acts any more. Although they had been pretty much been getting out of that for some time before that.
Dave Van Ronk

In those days the big U.S. labels didn't have any particular interest in the Latin market.
Ruben Blades

Independent artists and labels have always been the trend setters in music and the music business.
Shawn Fanning

It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore.
