“Creating music to fit the marketplace, so that music can be heard? If ever I thought that I even came close to catering to the marketplace, or designing my productions and my music to cater to what is currently fashionable, I would sell shoes for a living. For me, the marketplace can rot in hell. I will do music for the love of music and for the love of people who listen to music, and absolutely nothing else will drive me.” PeopleIfsHellHeardDesignFitCreatingSellsShoesProductionsListening To MusicMarketplaceFashionableAbsolutely NothingMusic LoveCateringCreating Music Author:Daniel Lanois
“Astrology ... makes vague predictions that can always be adapted after the fact to fit observations, as we'll see. Astrologers don't seek causes at all, for a good reason: There isn't any cause to astrology. If you look for some underlying reason, some connection between the stars and planets and our lives, you won't find any. For astrology to sell, buyers must not seek out the fundamental principles behind it, because if they do they'll see that there is none.” IfsLooksReasonFactsStarsCausesBehindsPrinciplesOur LivesPlanetsFitConnectionsFundamentalsSellsObservationVaguePredictionsAstrologyAdaptedBuyersFundamental PrinciplesStars And Planets Author:Phil Plait

“I would have people send me shoes and I had 40 pairs and none would fit in the dorm room. People would come by and be like, "Yo, I've been looking for these shoes." I was like, "I'll sell them to you for $300 right now."
