“It must be said, though, that this isn't really about clothing and labels. They just aren't a focal point when it comes to spinning, as it's all about the cars.”

“There's too much competition. People have short attention spans. They may love one song from you and stick with that for about six months. But if you release 10 hot songs, not all of them will get the reception you expect.”
