I hate labels. — © Marty Stuart
I hate labels.
I hate labels, and I wear no labels. When a man has to put something around his neck and say I am, he isn't.
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.
I hate genres. I think they're just marketing labels.
I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself. If you're not careful, like I wasn't when I was young, that can take a toll on you. You find yourself conforming to everyone else's ideas of who you are.
I hate record labels. They think they know everything. I want to hear them try to sing it.
I like the labels because I think they tell my story in a very concise way: gay, Latino. I think the responsibility that comes with accepting labels is that now I get a chance to break stereotypes. It gives me the opportunity to tell the unique stories of what those labels mean.
Everybody uses labels: they give you a handle on things - an over-simplified handle, sure, but without labels, without ads, without words, the world would be an indistinguishable mass, a blur. You can hope, maybe, that people ascribe so many labels to you that none wins out
Love me or hate me, it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved, for the exact same reasons.
I hate labels; the problem is that if you say you're one thing, it's hard for people to imagine you as something else. Music is way more complicated than that.
One of my biggest fears with 'Coloring Book' was that it would be labeled. I hate labels. I never sought out for people to recognize it as a gospel album.
The most important thing to remember about food labels is that you should avoid foods that have labels.
It's funny how we like labels. If I ever have a bookstore, I'm not going to put any labels on the sections.
Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.
We put labels on people and fight wars over them. If we truly want harmony, we have to get past the labels.
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.
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.
