Label Quotations | Page 3

I've been doing my record label for 15 years called Dim Mak. I started my label when I was 19 in '96. I started putting out an eclectic roster of artists. In 2003, we found a band called Bloc Party, and in 2004, we started getting remixes for Bloc Party, and at the same time I was throwing Dim Mak parties in Los Angeles.

They always have a label for you, ... When I came out of junior, I was a 'junior coach.' When I came out of college, I was a 'college coach.' Then when I made it to the NHL, I was a 'minor-league coach.' And now I'm a 'defensive coach.'

The wonderful thing about the business now is that more people have the ability to create and exploit their own material. It's going to make for a completely different industry in the next 10 years. Artists don't have to depend on a label to produce their albums. They don't even need to have it placed in stores.

I've seen teachers label just about everything in the classroom. And they'll put up a bulletin board that represents the different cultures in their classroom. That makes the child feel accepted.

I've toured the U.S. every single year and I've put a record out every single year whether it was on a major label or not; that doesn't make any difference to me.

The second record didn't sell as well and I think if we were on a big label, we might have been passed up on for the third, but they're a smaller label and the owner (Steve Gottlieb) likes us. So I think we deserve that chance with the first record doing so well.

The study is consistent with the label change.

I wanted to go with an independent label so I could get what I wanted. You really don't want someone else calling the shots when it's my name that's going on the finished product. Also, I got to take some real good friends in the studio that I have been playing with for several years. They were all excited to be going in with me. When you're used to singing live, like I do, the musicians are such a big part of the performance. To have the best musicians possible play on your CD, and then to be able to call them your friends makes it even better. I know the finished product shows how comfortable I was with these guys.

Sometimes when we label something dystopian fiction, I feel like we're trying very hard not to use the words 'science fiction,' because science fiction has those horrible connotations of rocket ships and bodacious babes.

Prior to 'Action' and 'Justice League 1,' there was no label 'superhero' for a superpowered being. It's really the emergence of Superman and the Justice League that gets the public comfortable with the idea of people amongst us who have extraordinary power and that they've agreed to be our champions.

Personally, I felt a lot of fingers were being pointed at me for the failures of Cleveland. They chose to label me as the problem, as what was wrong with Cleveland Browns football.

People throw that label around without even seeing the player play. It's unfortunate, because nothing good can come of it. I think everybody should be judged on an individual basis.

Our culture tends to label everybody and everything either a success or a failure, a winner or a loser. I often wonder how the one winner and 58,000 losers in the Boston Marathon feel about that? I can't imagine even one of those runners thinking of himself as a loser. I believe that for every one of them, to run the race well is to succeed.

The most likely buyer is someone who wants to have a luxury place in the Napa Valley and a prestigious wine label to go with it.

Anything that would kind of label me or put me into a category is kind of what I want to avoid. I like the idea of being completely free, like having no area that I couldn't cover.

As flattering as it is to be the only label on that map, we're not alone,

August is a big month for me. I haven't had an album out in some time and I'm especially proud of this one. It's my first album on my own label and I was able to do the songs I want to do just as I want to do them. I'm happy to have the chance to share my excitement with GAC's audience as 'Artist of the Month'." ()

A launch for any fashion label has to be at a high decibel.

You've got to spend money to get money. That's an important part of economic development ... If you are going to label me as a 'spendthrift,' as they've tried to do, then that means you don't spend anything at all and the economic development goes down the drain.

This is the first time that we did not meet our Annual Yearly Progress for students across the board, ... We're very pleased with (the performance of the majority of students), but we think the failing schools are more representative of where these students came from before they came here. We don't think its fair to label this school as failing.

This are pretty busy for us at the moment. The record label is in full flow and we have a weekly night in Manchester again. It's great because now we just can fill these dates with the best new talent that we can track down.

This acquisition would be consistent with our desire to broaden and deepen our library of filmed entertainment, as well as to add an important musical component, and, as we discussed, to introduce (Image Entertainment) as a new studio label focusing on specialty theatrical content,

They take Australian talent overseas, develop it and try to get a major label to pick them up. So we were really lucky to sign with them. They sent us over the top.

A lot of bands that end up getting, say, the major label deals ... there's already a good sense that they're a viable commodity. These are acts that are already in a position to be signed, and they doubtless would be signed with or without South by Southwest.

Although the traditional focus of Valentine's Day is on women and the gifts they desire, this survey found that not only do men like to get gifts for Valentine's Day, but they also like those gifts to be luxurious. Sixty-three percent of the people we surveyed agreed that this Valentine's Day, Johnnie Walker Blue Label is a great gift for the men in their lives.

A lot of people want to talk about Democrat and Republican. The label that matters most to me is Philadelphian,

There will be a Jussie Smollett album. I signed to Columbia. So, darling, I'm label mates with Beyonce and Adele and Barbra Streisand.

They're doing the work that a student would do in an honors course. Putting that label on it makes it more valuable to the student. It shows they are doing more than the other students ? it gives them that edge.

Assisted living is becoming so popular that everyone's kind of changing the sign on their door, no matter what they provide. We thought it was important to create a clear standard ... so that hopefully the label of assisted living won't be used in a way to mislead people.

About 10 years ago, in an effort to gain a better grasp on McCone's world, I took up the hobby of building fully electrified scale models: first of the legal cooperative where she started out, and then of her own brown-shingled cottage, a pursuit that the more tactful of my friends label unusual, and that the more blunt refer to as obsessive.

It's a tragic incident and it is of great concern. But it's just not fair to label a whole sport based on one team or a few players.

It's a big mistake not to label China if the U.S. law has any meaning. They are still intervening massively to keep their currency from rising. I don't see how you can not define that as manipulation.

It was a short-term solution, maybe not the best one, but a short-term solution nonetheless, ... We had the three of us to triple-check so we knew that all of the flyers had the disclaimer on them. All the flyers we passed out had the label on them.

It's a whole piece of life on this label saying, This was for the very well-to-do.

It's not unusual for artists to request an audit of their record label accounts from time to time. Sometimes there are differences of opinion, especially when the record contracts are complex, and there may be issues of contractual interpretation.

It's the only label I have ever really looked at, ... It is always important that there is synergy between designer and house, and he is one of few I feel a link with. I even went to Capri for the weekend and saw the whole lifestyle. I have done my research and feel up to speed with the heritage of the brand.

It's going to be the first time out for our quarterback that he's truly got the reins in his hands. It's never as though he had that label on him. You always worry about how an individual is going to respond, and how a team is going to respond.

It's quite gratifying for people to respond to your music when you're not on a huge label or have a big public relations firm backing you. When you consider just how many bands there are out there at any given time, it shows you that there's a hunger out there for something that's different and fresh. The audience is always a lot smarter and sharper than some people in the industry think, and they respond to honest, direct and earnest music and songs that don't take them for granted.

It's pretty cool. I don't know how to balance it other than to say that I had a record deal with a major label when I was right out of college. I was educated very quickly . . . at an age where you were young enough to recover from anything they might do to you. Without that information, I would not be able to truly impart to you how miraculous this is.

Doing things in my day was simple: you either signed to a big label or you signed to a very small label, and you worked with that one, and then they eventually signed you on to a big one.

Consumers need to be able to get music in a place that resembles an online version of a music store, where they don't need to know which artist belongs to what label to find the music.

It's silly. If someone was going to build a bike into a pipe bomb, they wouldn't label it.

It's so easy for people to stick a label on you, and then that taints everything you touch.

The Blue Dogs are all Democrats; they are. And I'll tell you, in terms of wearing the Democratic label, I think they're the true Democrats, because that label usually hurts them when they're running for election.

The blanket label of 'tech' does more harm than good for investors.

The bigger boys have the edge. You can only be in one place at one time. Other bands that have that big record label support have the promotional stuff taken care of. They're on the radio and have albums in the stores. It's about having that presence in a city without actually being there.

It's time to get the FDA to reverse its 1994 decision not to label GM foods.

I want to figure out what kind of artist I want to be, because with the 'American Idol' process, it just works really fast. The night of the finale, they said, 'OK, here are all the label people that you're gonna work with, this is the album you're gonna make and blah, blah, blah.' So it was a pretty fast process, but it's been cool.

It used to be a two-tier league. I can remember in the late 1980s, early 1990s, there were some automatic wins against maybe four or five teams. You were pretty sure to win two out of three. Now, I don't even look and see who any of them is playing this weekend. Because it's not like, 'Man, maybe we can catch a break.' You just have to play them all. There's not one team that I think you can label second tier.

They certainly don't have the reputation in private label that Federated and Macy's have.

The new package design and label reflect decades of experience and everything we know about effectively communication with today's consumer,

The new label design makes it easier for doctors to get access to important information about drug safety and benefits, and this in turn will help them have more meaningful discussions with their patients. This redesigned label is a big step in our commitment to giving health professionals the tools and information they need to optimize their clinical practice and choose among a growing number of effective treatments to make more personalized prescribing decisions for their patients.

The National Socialist (Nazi) party had 10 million members, of whom at most 150,000 were criminals. It would be grotesque to stick the label of criminal on every former member of the party.

It's not available in America, we don't have a distribution company or a label yet, but in Denmark, at the first of the year, I recorded with a group called the Alligators.

It's not a surprise to find a designer suit label that is probably in the realm of $2,000 to $3,000, depending on where it's made and what fabric it's made from. We can also go into a typical mall today and find that a guy can put together a casual pants, shirt and tie for probably $100.

The key thing is representational memory. If you want to discriminate pain from hunger, from vision, or from any other sensational experience, you need to be able to label it in some way, and that will come from interactions with the primary caregiver.

The label surprised me because of how defensive-minded he is and how much he cares about the position. That's basically how I'm wired. I respect guys who respect the position.

The label error was detected during a routine label verification process. There have been no reported cases of illness. Customers who have purchased the product may return it to their store for a full refund or replacement. All key lime pies currently for sale declare eggs on the ingredient label.

The label error was detected during a routine label verification process. As part of our commitment to food safety, we routinely verify that our store product labels match our computer records for allergen declarations.

I never became a cowboy or baseball player, and now I'm beginning to wonder if I ever really became a writer. I find that I hesitate to put that label on myself, to define myself by what I do for a living.

I know she will be an advocate for women and minorities. I wouldn't label her as a conservative or a liberal. She would be a centrist. That she was a Republican didn't stand in the way of fair play and her being fair minded.

I'm really happy with Elektra, I don't have anything bad to say about them at all. I always knew a major label was the right place for me to be. I never really had an opportunity to go to an independent label anyway.

If I were to label the issue, it's one of program management and getting all the bits and pieces pulled together in the right order. We are still very hot on the technology. I don't think a six-month slip is a major impact from a product standpoint.

I have no control over what people call us, label us or say about us. The only thing I have control over is myself and the guys I have in that locker room.

I had a pan of pork, cooked pork, sitting in here and it didn't have a top on it, and i believe it did not have a label on it, which comes into the label as well.

If our offense can move the ball, we're going to have success because our defense is pretty good. We're not great, but we're pretty good on defense. By the endo the season I hope people label us as a great defense.

I once worked at a record label called London Records. The company was owned by Roger Ames, one of the most successful figures in the British music industry. Roger always placed a value on loafing, on holidays, on not being in the office all the time.

If you are the record label who owns Lady Gaga, and you have a new artist coming up, you can say, 'Let's have the artist play just before Gaga.' Now you've exposed the huge Gaga audience to the new artist. It's similar to showing a trailer before a movie. The hit creates a hit.

Intelligent design became the label for the board's desire to teach creationism.

In Providence, the noise scene is very anti-rock. But we don't want to outright reject rock clubs. There's a different set of influences in New York. (DFA) is a pop music label, and we're kind of an anomaly on the label (but) ... we can take advantage of the different resources available here.

In Providence, the noise scene is very anti-rock, ... But we don't want to outright reject rock clubs. There's a different set of influences in New York. (DFA) is a pop music label, and we're kind of an anomaly on the label (but) ... we can take advantage of the different resources available here.

In this lovely land of corrugated cartons and plastic bags, we want our entertainment packaged neatly . . . an attractive label on the outside, a complete and accurate detailing of contents . . . no loose ends, no odd parts, nothing left out.

I hesitate to ever put a label on best ever. In their generation, in this time span, and for the type of football they're playing, there's no question that right now they are dominating the landscape.

If you watch him, he's anything but that type of player. That's how everybody wants to make him out to be. He's a low-turnover guy. He's sound. And yet, people still want to label him as that kind of guy. Maybe he can do that stuff. But he doesn't play like 'the Professor' out there.

If you want to put out a million CDs and sell them and get them played on the radio, and even videos, or whatever, if that still exists, that kind of muscle can only come from a label like Columbia.

I just try to make the best music that I can. People are going to label it whatever they're going to label it.

I read the label underneath, That telleth me whereto I must; I see the sentence eke that saith 'Remember, man, that thou art dust!' But yet, alas, but seldom I Do think indeed that I must die - My ancestors are turned to clay, And many of my mates ar

Clearly the barrier to the use of the drug off label has been raised,

Because the pop industry is cruel, if you don't do everything the label wants you to do, it has an army of other people waiting to do it.

I don't put a very clear label on my work. If anything, I write science fiction - looking at a moment now, in the present, and then extrapolating outward to think about what the future might look like if this particular trend goes on, or if this particular trend is the most dominant. That's a science fictional tool.

I didn't feel the pressure that everybody thinks about on sophomore albums. I didn't think about it. I had final approval on all the songs. My label trusted me to know my audience. We recorded 16 songs, and we used them all.

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

He's like me ... only he can skate, ... When you come in the league everyone is always trying to put a label on you to compare you to someone. I know when I broke in the comparison that I heard was to Jean Beliveau. There are always going to be expectations when you get drafted as high as he did, but you'll see him develop his own unique style over time. Most guys find their own niche and their own way of making their career. I think there is no question that he is going to play in the NHL and be very successful.

He's an overachiever. It's the best label you can ever have in your life.

Generally, when a record label suggests album ideas for you, you smile politely, and then proceed to shoot it down, because it's never what you as an artist feel is right for you.

Geddy Lee and I went to the same grade school. He moved away when we were still young, but I remember him like I do all my friends from back then. Then in 1982, Dave Thomas and I were approached to do a record as the McKenzie Brothers on Anthem Records, the same label that Rush was on.

If had to label myself, I guess classical liberal would be best.

I called him to find out where he got the pamphlet and all he said was it was missing the label, ... I asked him when he got it and he said he got it on Saturday, which was five days before I saw them. I asked him why he didn't bother to call me and let me know there was a defect in five days and why I had to hear it from Dan and not him. I've been trying to talk to him and sit down with him but he never returns my phone calls. I told him that I am as honest as the day is long and that if there was no label that obviously someone pulled it off.

I certainly don't like a label that suggests I believe that the military is the solution to most of the world's problems.

I assure you that I will not sign off on any label that had a cardiac warning,

I basically played the music that I felt all my life, and whatever label people put on it is kind of really none of my business.

He's got a chance to be pretty special. You hate putting a label on what he is or what he can be. So much depends on how healthy he stays, but no question, he has the talent to be a major league pitcher and he's on a fast track.

For the artists, the benefit is that there is a label which embraces their identity and sexuality as part of their persona. In addition, they have the benefit of resources and clout of a major label to help them build their careers.

You can't ever label this court as totally conservative. It's always hard to put the court in a box of a particular label.

These are just weird times, but then the last 20 years have been kind of weird for me. It's just a matter of doing what you can. You just have to play the cards you're holding and letting your audience know where you are. I've been on my own pretty much for the last 20 years. I've just been touring and you could call the albums that I've been making my calling cards. I haven't even had a label until the last two or three years. Then Compass Records came along. They're out of Nashville and they liked the stuff, so I guess they could see some kind of potential in me. They decided to get involved and I like them. They're nice people. These days, every battle won is like hand-to-hand combat.

All I've ever wanted to do is sing and I've always dreamed about having a career in music, ... There's no better label to achieve that goal with than J Records.

The industry is working on tags as small as the dot of on the letter 'i', or tags can be woven into fabric, in effect hiding them from the consumer. The best way to protect the consumer is to clearly label products that have the tags and let people decide whether or not they want to buy them.

Agencies don't care. They put a label on you if you complain. They blacklist you, say you're hard to please.

The gold standard, if you will, is being able to have a label on the product that says it's sterile.

The first record company was in Japan, and then we came back to U.S., and Concord Records was the label that came on board. I love Concord.
