Quote by Jennifer Lee

“The main joy I have in owning or being a part of my own label is the platform I've created to really push other artists and this other kind of musical muscle I get to exercise, it's not just me as a creator of music but me as a curator.

The only ones people treated differently were those that were also stars; or the directors who also owned their companies.”

That's why they're great characters.”
