The biggest misconception about work is that you need to spend the majority of your time doing it.

There are so many people in this world that have the look and have talent, and yet they keep putting out this teenybopper singers that have no vocal capability at all. Sometimes I think there's no real music anymore. We don't have singers like we did back in the day. Music is supposed to convey a message. Music is supposed to make you feel a certain way.

I think that with the times changing, labels do actually need to get that and stop signing all these crap artists.
