A Quote by Kanye West

It's like this, by not giving my album a classic rating, you diminish your magazine's credibility. And that's real.

One thing I'm big on is believing in giving an album time. I'll say you'll have to give an album three years before you can call it a classic. If you can't listen to it three years later then it's not really a classic.

Schoolboy Q

Remain true to yourself and your philosophy. Changing in the face of adversity will in fact diminish your credibility with your customers.

Giorgio Armani

Giving a record company an album is like giving a gangster your baby or something.

Steve Miller

I listen to classic albums that I ain't gotta fast forward. If I gotta fast forward it three times, I don't like your music. Well, not your music, not your album. Yeah, I don't like your album.

Boosie

Don't worry about your rating, work on your playing strength and your rating will follow.

Dan Heisman

I'm very comfortable with an R-rating. I feel like it sounds like what people talk like in real life; I think it's more real to me.

David Dobkin

The Weezer 'Blue' Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket's 'Circuital' is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' or 'Animals.' I always catch myself at concerts being like, 'Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.' I study them.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse

It's funny; we never had anything like credibility. Even though we all have some sort of punk-rock background, but so what? I really don't care about that. What's credibility anyway? Who has credibility?

Mark McGrath

The first review our band ever got - when I was 17 years old and we had just released our first EP, and this tiny little magazine wrote a review on it, and for that month, we were the best album of the month, and we were also the worst album of the month. We won best and worst album of the month in the same magazine.

Zacky Vengeance

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.

Johnny Ramone

When I had a record deal in the '90s, that was my dream - to make an album like Barbra Streisand's Broadway album - and they laughed me out of the room. Broadway wasn't cool. But artists like Michael Buble and Josh Groban have brought the classic genre back to the forefront, so I'm trying to find my way inside that market.

Billy Porter

All "bad" presentations struggle to keep the audience interested. The audience squirms wishing they could escape. The audience has given the presenter an hour of their life, so they want that hour to be useful. It's disrespectful of a presenter to not show up rehearsed and prepared with information and insights that will improve the lives of the audience in some way. Presenting will do only one of two things for you: it will either diminish your credibility or yield results. Most bad presentations hurt the presenter's credibility.

Nancy Duarte

I want to leave an album behind that is classic, that people in 50 years will refer to and pass on to their children. An album that you never bored of.

Adele

The classic rule of thumb is that if you are an intellectual ideological magazine, you do better in opposition than you do if your views are reflected by people in power.

John Podhoretz

I don't know what's more embarrassing, these musicians and actors talking about politics in interviews or the media actually giving them credibility about it. It's absurd that a celebrity could speak out on the economy or politics with no more justification than a hit album or a movie.
