Several record companies had rejected my song 'Owner of A Lonely Heart' on the grounds it was 'too left field.' I never create to make a hit just to satisfy some record company executive's quarterly profit statement.

Trevor Rabin

When it all started, record companies - and there were many of them, and this was a good thing - were run by people who loved records, people like Ahmet Ertegun, who ran Atlantic Records, who were record collectors. They got in it because they loved music... Now, record companies are run by lawyers and accountants.

David Crosby

Trust-me companies are companies whose financial results gallop ahead of their businesses, companies with seemingly perfect control over their quarterly sales and profits. Companies whose financial statements are loaded with footnotes: companies that short-sellers often attack but rarely dent.

Alex Berenson

The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people.

Enrique Iglesias

The old ways still apply. You can still send tapes to record companies, and there are record companies, you know, there are one or two of the record companies do declare proudly that they listen to every single one that comes.

David Gilmour

I would say the consumer Internet companies - in a lot of ways, if you go inside the consumer Internet companies and you see how they run, it's how all their businesses are going to run.

Marc Andreessen

All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.

Ralph Bakshi

The big difference lies in the pay cheque and the billing in the credits. I have been voicing for a decade, and if you don't get good billing, it does hurt.

Rajesh Khattar

I used to run record companies, and I went to the advertising business at 29 years old.

Steve Stoute

In a world where companies increasingly know about their business in real time, it makes no sense that public reporting mostly follows the old quarterly schedule. Companies sit on vital information until reporting day, at which point the market goes crazy.

James Surowiecki

There are more than 9,000 billing codes for individual procedures and units of care. But there is not a single billing code for patient adherence or improvement, or for helping patients stay well.

Clayton Christensen

I think all record companies should be run by a musician. Just as you wouldn't trust your health to an electrician.

Paul Bley

Be true to yourself, and, um, don't worry about some large companies' quarterly profit index.

Natalie Merchant

I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.

Estelle

I'm not going to run my business on the basis of quarterly numbers.

Parker Conrad

The greatest thing that ever happened to (my career) was the breakdown of the record companies, because there were no more stupid questions about how many hits are on the next record. It was very liberating.

John Mellencamp
