Album Quotations | Page 4

I'm a songwriter first...In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious...Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive...There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.

I've always known that if I recorded an album, it would come out, and people would enjoy it! Whereas if I wrote a movie script, chances are better than even that I'd just be another guy in L.A. with a movie script in his drawer.

One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.

Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.

Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.

People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.

Everyone's just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it's a huge antidote to that to have a concept album.

What I can tell you, is that when we finishing the album in LA, Johnny came down to the studio to talk about the movie.

When we started getting the video airplay is when we saw the album sales start to climb towards the 100,000 mark. Before that, selling 10,000 in bluegrass was considered to be a huge success.

When we set out to create this fragrance, I wanted to revolutionize this industry. I wanted to create a scent, package it and promote it in a way that has never been seen before. I drew upon my experience as a fashion designer and a recording artist and launched Unforgivable like an album ... and we have hit number one! I am a boy from Harlem and to have this kind of success right out of the box is truly beyond my wildest dreams.
