It's nice to have fans who want and need our music.
It used to be OK to have two or three songs out a year - and those are your singles. Now, they don't want that. They're like, 'OK, I heard that. Next!'
We're making the music that the people are asking us for.
Working in bars back then, in the '50s, to get a job you had to play all kinds of music. There'd be customers come in and yell jazz tunes at you and yell rock 'n' roll tunes at you and polkas and rhythm and blues and country music.
Generally, I don't bother trying to keep up with prolific bands - but Thee Oh Sees demand it.
I'm still going to sing these songs because trap is a type of music very popular in the streets, and people want to hear it.
I've got fans and letters from Israel, France Germany, Sweden, London, Africa. They all saying pretty much the same thing, 'Yo, we love you, we need you, put some more music out, please!'
The public doesn't want new music; the main thing it demands of a composer is that he be dead.
We live in an age of music for people who don't like music. The record industry discovered some time ago that there aren't that many people who actually like music. For a lot of people, music's annoying, or at the very least they don't need it. They discovered if they could sell music to a lot of those people, they could sell a lot more records.
There's always a market for music.
There's a lot of demand to hear the new Kanye West album before it hits the streets. There's much less demand to read the new Phillip Roth novel.
To be a good musician, you need to give people what they want, what they need.
Whether I am performing for an elite crowd or a crowd of 20,000 people - the moment someone asks for 'Agneepath,' and I respond 'Agneepath' chahiye?' the noise in the crowd, shows that this song has become huge.
The streets buy records, but they don't really buy records in incredible numbers.
I want more of my favorite artists or more of the guy that makes the anthems. I want more.
I posted some songs on MySpace, and right away people started asking, 'Where can I get a CD?'
I think people were just starving for good material because they just weren't getting it on the radio.
There is a strong demand for Michael Jackson's music and merchandise, and that will only increase as more material surfaces in the years following his death.
There are almost no takers for independent musicians in India.
I think the rock audience still likes to have a physical product. The demand for owning a physical copy is still there.
They always say that jazz doesn't sell, but it's a lie, because it does sell, and it sells consistently year in and year out.
