Any Labels Major Want

Too Short

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.

Dan Hicks

I don't really see a difference in independent and major labels. To me, it's pretty much the same. There used to be a difference between indies and major labels, but I don't think there is anymore.

M.I.A.

Equal Vision seems to be doing really well. A lot of these major labels are just imploding and becoming indie labels, anyway.

Vic Fuentes

I've signed with major labels, and I haven't had any control over the money.

Chuck D

This may sound pernickety but I wouldn't describe myself as an evangelical. These are labels, which I don't think are helpful. If I was going to use any label it would be Christian, and if you push me any further I'd say I'm an Anglican - that's the family of the Church that I belong to. There's nothing wrong with any of the other labels, but if you have any of them I want them all. If you're going to say, 'I'm Catholic, liberal, evangelical...' let's have them all.

Nicky Gumbel

The decline of the major labels has changed the audience. They aren't force-fed by a system any more. They can make their own decisions.

John Oates

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

I want to be able to do what I want to do. A lot of times, the major labels, they can't see the vision, they can only see the dollar signs. So, it doesn't really work out like that.

Danny Brown

Major labels don't want to take chances on cooler, indie kind of things. People only know, unfortunately, what they're being spoon-fed.

Erick Morillo

It's funny how we like labels. If I ever have a bookstore, I'm not going to put any labels on the sections.

Audrey Niffenegger

I've been on a major label for 14 years. I've always wanted as many people as possible to hear my music, and it definitely made sense for the majority of my career to be on a major label, on a distribution level, to be in people's faces and be out there, and have access to major labels' incredible machine, even though they have not understood or haven't been invested in what I was doing.

DJ Shadow

Independent labels take nothing and make something out of it. Major labels buy that something, and try to make more out of it.

Tom Silverman

Major labels act as banks in terms of how they produce and release your album. No major label is really good or bad; they just 100 per cent operate as a business, which makes sense... no hard feelings.

Solange Knowles

Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that's all I want to say.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

We put labels on people and fight wars over them. If we truly want harmony, we have to get past the labels.

Wayne Dyer

The people who are competing business-wise out there want what other successful labels and artists have. I don't want what they have; I want my own path, my own sound, my own identity. Record labels care nothing about identity or artistic freedom, they want good business.
