“I have an office full of product from brands trying to be in videos and an inbox full of songs from artists, but at the end of the day if the artist doesn't support the brand or it doesn't make sense for the song, then it will never work.

“A lot of artists give up because it's just too damn hard to go on making art in a culture that by and large does not support its artists. But the people who don't give up are the people who find a way to believe in abundance rather than scarcity. They've taken into their hearts the idea that there is enough for all of us, that success will manifest itself in different ways for different sorts of artists, that keeping the faith is more important than cashing the check, that being genuinely happy for someone else who got something you hope to get makes you genuinely happier too.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartDoeArtImportantIdeasDifferentHardEnoughArtistCultureSupportTakenGoes OnGiving UpChecksDamnDifferent WaysAbundanceManifestDon't Give UpScarcityKeep The Faith Author:Cheryl Strayed
“There are so many intellectual and moral angels battling for rationalism, good citizenship, and pure spirituality; so many and such eminent ones, so very vocal and authoritative! The poor devil in man needs all the support and advocacy he can get. The artist is his natural champion.

“It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.” GivingRunningArtistNextChanceCompanySupportRecordsAirMaterialsMusicianBreatheFinding YourselfOnce Upon A TimeRecord CompaniesSupport YouZeppelinsReally SadNew Artists Author:Gene Simmons
