It's a bummer sometimes but I always believe that great bands and great music always prevail.

Too many people get lost in the game of having a good time and being naive about things.

I also have a recording studio that I use to produce bands.

It's a big shame, because 'Trixter' in my mind were what a real rock n' roll band is all about.

We really put together a great band, and have a great time.

I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.

We can get airplay all across the board, from CHR to Active rock.

But we did the best we could and in the end some of us had to get day jobs and start fresh.

The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money.

I think we were always humble.

Just tasking a team to be creative won't get you to be innovative. It's having a corporate climate that gives people the space to experiment and take risks. Only then can you truly sustain it.

It's a bummer sometimes but I always believe that great bands and great music always prevail.

I think people are sick and tired of all the abuse songs, and drug addiction, we want to bring to world a big fat smile.

But either way you cannot deny the sales and what we did.

Always gotta keep busy or the voices start telling me to do wild things.

One of my friends is Snake from Skid Row.

I think there is always room for a timeless sounding rock band like us.

We did not have anyone like a manager, who could guide us and make it happen.

You know, with bands like Kiss back out on the road and Aerosmith coming out, we are going to be a band like that, in the sense that it's a big rock band.

We have an amazing fan base all around the world that love 40FT.

Yeah, man I am going to be writing a book soon. The reality of being in a rock band in the music business'.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.

We had gone out on the road in 94 and 95 for a three month American tour, and we realised, as did our manager and booking agent at the time, that we have really exhausted it, and we can't make money at this anymore.

No it wasn't at the time cause you have to remember, I had been playing clubs since I was 13.

It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.

I guess it comes back to the old motto, you have you're fifteen minutes a fame.

Just tasking a team to be creative wont get you to be innovative. Its having a corporate climate that gives people the space to experiment and take risks. Only then can you truly sustain it.

When you use music to worship you are not attempting to entertain.

Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

You've got to realize. In the western world, regardless of what color you are, what title the music is, it's all played by the same notes.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Whether I'm doing music or I'm walking down the street or I'm in a record store buying a record or I walk into a comic store and I'm buying comics or having a drink with my friends, it's the same me.

When rock came along the lyrics and melodies became less important and it bothered me to think that perhaps they might not regain the value they have to music - they are music.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

There is no music that can't be used politically, but the motives behind the creation of that music can be non-political.

The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.

Since I'm allergic to various things, the army wouldn't accept me during the war, and I got into the Office of War Information, which sent music to Europe.

My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.

I was determined to carve out a music of my own. I didn't want to copy anybody.

I have tried to make the music a bit easier for them to understand.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.

That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.

The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.

My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.

When we started making electronic music I imagined that the reaction we got from the rock musicians must have been similar to the one the beat groups got from people like my dad.

Uhm, I'm the one wanting the lessons! I don't want to say too much about it because I'd rather have you see the movie, but he's trying to find his music.

The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.
