I nurture people's talents because, at the end of it, that's what they're left with. They're left with themselves.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
If you're not confident, people push you around. That's it. It's super-simple.

I feel that when I listen to music - not that it's bad - it's not emotional. It has a gimmick to it. It's selling something: the artist, the producer, something. The emotional capacity is very small, for the listener as well.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I don't think I could make a pop album.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I'm just in tune to myself and what I need from the universe.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I'm really good at bringing out greatness - in anybody. I don't even have to be in the studio. What a gift to be able to help people bring out the best qualities in them.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
Record companies don't think creatively about what something could possibly be because they are not filled with creative people. Nobody's looking at the future of music because they're concentrating so hard on what they can get from it right this second. It's really hard to see an artist; it's a lot easier to see money.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I didn't like being out in the limelight. I love performing, but that's it.

I'm a songwriter, an artist, and a musician. I do not have to try to be that; I just am.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I get to do all the styles of music that I love. There's no boundaries; there's nobody holding on to me saying I can't do that.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
To me, I feel like everything I touch will do good. Because my heart and my passion is all in the right spot. And you can't go wrong with that. But maybe I'm naive.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
Music comes from inside. It's not a style. It's just passion.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
If you want to be famous, you can.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I was scared of failure, of being a one-hit wonder, never being able to write another song again, never being able to sing again. Maybe everything that I think I am and who I want to be never will happen.

I was raised in a time when parents brought out belts, and you got tough love.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I'm not a children's songwriter. I'm not in that world.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
It's a humbling and amazing journey when you write a song in your bedroom, and you've got no money, and you're trying to write a song based on where you're at right at this moment.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I want to be a producer and not a songwriter.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
There's a lot of artists that are celebrities, not really artists.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I wanted to go back to writing for myself and my fans. I built my own recording studio, started my own label, and decided to use the Internet to sell my records.

I've had many songs where I've gone, 'Oh, my God, this song is going to be huge!' but it wasn't the right artist, or something just didn't happen. It didn't make the song any worse. It just didn't line up. That does happen.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I'm overcritical, insensitive, and pushy when it comes to me. With everybody else, I'm a great listener, and all I want is for them to be happy.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I would love for Radiohead to give me a call and say, 'Hey, kid, we wanna see what it's like working with you. We want you to produce our next record.'
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes -
I have to meet everybody I work with before I work with them. Before I say yes, I have to meet them, and then I take it from there. I don't care if you've had the best record or the worst. That doesn't matter to me. I don't care about that stuff.
