A Quote by Elvis Costello

It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.

I don't like that the government is going to manipulate the information to try to convince me that what I'm eating is not what I'm really eating. If people choose to eat cardboard because it's ten cents cheaper, then let them. That's at the root of freedom. But in the reverse, I'd like to know if what I'm eating or consuming or buying is somehow hurting or exploiting someone in another part of the planet.

Billy Corgan

When our video of 'Smooth Criminal' came out, suddenly we started getting all kinds of offers. We were getting calls from TV shows like 'Ellen DeGeneres' and from record labels.

Luka Sulic

My record producer [David Kahne] said the major record labels these days are like dinosaurs sitting around discussing the asteroid. They know it's going to hit. They don't know when, they don't know where it's coming from. But it's sort of hit already. With iTunes, and all of that.

Paul McCartney

People don't know how to reach record labels, and a lot of time labels don't listen to stuff that's sent in randomly.

Perez Hilton

If you look at something like Spotify, many record labels are investors in the company. So from that standpoint, the money is all going back into the labels.

Om Malik

I've had a very different career than a lot of other musicians. I went through the major labels. I was signed to two major labels and bands. I've toured with Aerosmith, and I've had records on the charts, songs in the movies. If you had checklist of things a person wants to accomplish in music...I've done a lot. And I don't mean that in an egotistical way; I never take it for granted. But you can't think outside the box unless you know what's in the box.

Michael Angelo Batio

Island Records was the first record label to... acknowledge me. After that, quickly, Republic Records, and then Atlantic Records, Sony Records and Warner Bros. It was all the labels at once. It was absolutely insane, like, knowing that this many record labels were interested in me.

Shawn Mendes

You don`t get mood swings from eating cornflakes

O. J. Simpson

I don't come from a rich family - it's not like we lived in a cardboard box, but we didn't have a ton of money.

Jessica Lynch

If you could still see yourself living in a cardboard box with somebody with no money then that is love you know, it's what's important.

Perrie Edwards

Trying to explain or define grace is like catching the wind in a cardboard box or describing the color green.

Cathleen Falsani

Chocolate cornflakes are a hit. Mixing chocolate with cornflakes to make dollops of candy with that crunch and saltiness just has a magic to it. People watch you do it and think, 'Oh it's so easy,' and then they taste it and say, 'I want to do this.' It's recipes like this that are very successful on TV, because they're so simple.

Jacques Torres

I'm confused that there is a lack of faith in listening to and deciding what is a great song and instead going for these formulaic, bad songs over and over again. But that's what happened when people from beverage companies bought record labels and radio stations as opposed to people who love music owning record labels.

Patty Griffin

My first playpen was a cardboard box.

Michael Lee-Chin

To leave Italy at 17 without money and go to a country like England is very rare; Italians stay with the family until 30, 35. But I couldn't stand to live in this box anymore. I was getting bigger, and the box was getting smaller.

Riccardo Tisci

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.
