“I'm just basically trying to make music that feels good. Right now in the music industry there's a real lack of intimacy. You don't really connect with the artist as much anymore, and you don't really understand where they are.

“I thought, 'Okay, what's going to be my edge, and how am I going to define what I'm doing differently?' Once I had that key idea of the software developer as an artist, once I had that idea, a whole bunch of other ideas flowed from that, because I realized that I need to go study the music industry, I need to study the book publishing and Hollywood and figure out how they do things, why they do them that way, and then I need to borrow, and rearrange, the things that they're doing to fit my industry so that I can invent and create this new industry.” WayNeedsI CanBookIdeasWholeArtistStudyFiguresKeysIndustryFitOkayHollywoodEdgesI RealizedBunchSoftwarePublishingMusic IndustryDevelopersBook Publishing Author:Trip Hawkins
“Humor is everything. Everything. Usually the negatives turned out to be the most positive for me. In the music industry, any other artist would have looked at the situation I was in and thought, "Oh man, this is not for me." I looked at it more like Darwin exploring the Galápagos Islands. You know - survival of the fittest.” MenArtistSituationIndustrySurvivalIslandsExploringMusic IndustrySurvival Of The FittestGals Author:Pitbull
