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

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.

Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them; they don't have an incentive to.

The bronze powder business, however, no longer required my personal attention, and was well managed by those I had chosen as the guardians of a secret, which was long and honourably kept.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

Howard Hughes himself was a regular at the restaurant, and in a way it became his headquarters, too. Howard had recently relocated to Las Vegas, so when he wanted to do business in Los Angeles, he went into the back of our restaurant to use the telephone.

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

We mean by "politics" the people's business - the most important business there is.

Slovakia's joining the OECD in 1999 is totally dependent on meeting economic reforms required such as transparency and legislation that permits fair and open conduct of trade and business.

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.

It's a very hard and competitive business in which you have to fight every day in order to impose yourself.

I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.

Chicago kept industry, attracted new business, became the center for convention trade and transportation.

I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command.

All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.

The surest way to return to the people's business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and won't leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business.

You have to be a star to be in this business.

The government must do all it can to help reduce interest rates for business.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.
