I don't sell millions of records. As a matter of fact, I'm not even interested in selling millions of records. I enjoy MCing. I make a decent amount of money. I can feed my kids. I keep a roof over my head. I don't have to sell a million records to maintain my lifestyle.
I've heard that Oasis or Coldplay will sell tickets, but they can't sell records. They sold out Madison Square Garden in three hours. And they can't sell albums. I don't know what's going on.
I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.
I want to sell out arenas and make an album and work with some of the best artists in the world.
I make an embarrassing amount of money for a borderline Marxist, just by selling 100,000 records. I don't sell millions of records, and I don't need to.
Obviously there was the idea that we could sell more records if we played live, but I guess I didn't care enough to sell more records to do that.
The producers want us to sell, sell, sell. That's my little joke. That's what we do by day; by night, we're artists.
God works funny so it might have just been meant for me to be an artist that doesn't sell two million records. Maybe my records might change somebody's life rather than sell thru the roof.
I sell bikinis. I sell comforters. I sell Cam'ron pillows. I sell a bunch of things off my likeness, and it all came from music, so it's definitely a blessing.
Nowadays people sell millions of records that can't sing.
What my whole object was is not to really sell records. I was trying to sell songs.
That's why, to this day, K.I.S.S. can sell out wherever they go... because they sell tickets, and they have that core fan base. You may not hear K.I.S.S. on the radio with a new single today. And they can still sell out anywhere.
There's no such thing as 'hard sell' and 'soft sell.' There's only 'smart sell' and 'stupid sell.'
I sell out arenas now. I'm a stadium guy.
I would love to sell millions of records, but that's never gonna be the case.
My aspirations aren't to sell millions of records, but to write really good songs.
