The Music Business Was Not Safe, But

Lionel Richie, Love Song, Ok, Thank You Very Much, Good-bye. And All Of A Sudden I Realized That, In My Career, What Has Made My Career Has Always Been The Surprises.

All Artists Are Egotistical Maniacs With Inferiority Complexes.

The Music Business Was Not Safe, But It Was Fun. It Was Like Falling In Love With A Woman You Know Is Bad For You, But You Love Every Minute With Her, Anyway.

Believe Me, I Love Commerce As Much As The Rest Of The Readers Of 'businessweek.' But In Art, You Have To Be True To Yourself And Your Musical Vision. People Have Known Me Well For A Long Time, So If I Was Chasing A Trend And Doing Something That Wasn't Authentic To Who I Am, They Would Know It In Just A Few Seconds.

I Think The Whole World Is Dying To Hear Someone Say, 'i Love You.' I Think That If I Can Leave The Legacy Of Love And Passion In The World, Then I Think I've Done My Job In A World That's Getting Colder And Colder By The Day.
