I don't own an ABBA album, and I never had the urge to go and buy one. If you're just talking about well crafted pop songs, they were fantastic.
I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.
Record the album after the tour.
Mixtapes are very personal, and they describe who you are better than an album sometimes.
Music is my main goal, but I'm not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right.
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.
If everything gets too serious for me on the album, I get kinda bored. I've got to have some kind of jovial things in there.
One of the reasons why my album is called 'Forget the World' is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.
After three albums, you should shoot your producer
I kinda like the idea of having an album that's all me.
A good album should be more than the sum of its parts.
With each project, whether it's an album or a mixtape, I try to learn more in the process.
Most artists should be able to make the album that they want. You don't necessarily pick the singles that you want when you're making a record, but for the most part it's the same process.
Making an album can be like being pregnant: you want to pop that thing out and show everybody!
If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast.
There's a plaque on our wall that says we've sold over 65 million albums, and I don't feel I've accomplished anything. I feel like I'm just getting started.
Well it has been very exciting and very changing as well. Celebrating the 40th year and having the album out and the Channel 4 documentary and I resigned from Blind Date.
I have been metal all my life, only I did not know about it. The people in this album (Charlemagne) and I, share the same values.
I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a pretentious fart. They were right.
Mike Tyson, what can I say about you that hasn’t already been the title of a Richard Pryor album?
I want to go to Nashville and get cracking on this album.
You know, my first album, some of those jokes I'd done for twelve years because I couldn't throw 'em out.
The only band that I can see that made changes over the years with success was The Beatles. They were able to change album to album and still be just as good or better. I didn't feel that we were able to do that. The Beatles were in a class by themselves.
My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me.
I want people to be like, 'Your album's just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]'s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck. I work just as hard as them.
