David Knopfler British Musician Quotations

So why sign your name in blood for more? It seemed like a sensible arrangement for me. I didn't sell large numbers of records and the record company paid advances they rarely recouped.

Now I'm having to live with sales of around 50,000 per album - but I'm pretty content with my place in the general scheme of things, even if it's meant I don't drive a fancy car and can't afford grand vacations.

I'm pretty much below the radar of commercial visibility everywhere, though the US is indeed the place I've sadly most neglected.

In the early days I really enjoyed the freedoms it offered because I was happy to work the long hours as long as I was working from home a lot.
