A lot of people call me a 'machine,' and I don't think a lot of men or women operate the way I do.

I don't read music. I refuse to learn how to do that. I barely know half the chords I'm playing. I like being naive when it comes to that.

In no way am I a spiritual person. I'm not some guru geek.

-
I think women gravitate toward me because I am a woman producing and songwriting, and there's none out there. There really isn't.

I love just helping people; that's what I'm good at.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes
-
I'm just in tune to myself and what I need from the universe.

-
I want to be so giving and collaborative, but my best songs were written on my own.

-
I'm extremely hard to work with.

You kind of have to have no ego to be a producer and a songwriter.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes

People are gonna get tired of Linda Perry the producer, but I will always be in the music business. And I will always be successful in it.

-
I have a lot of songs that I kind of put away, and I don't let anybody else hear them, and those are my songs.

Rock & roll doesn't belong on a grid. It belongs on a pulse - a natural pulse.
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've been touching instruments since the day I was born. My mother is Brazilian, and she listens to Brazilian music. My father was a musician, and I've seen pictures of him when he was in a band playing guitar and piano. He loved country music, Frank Sinatra, and stuff like that.

Sometimes I'll look back at old pictures where I'm a little heavy and dressed funny and think, 'How did I get chicks all the time?'

My family, they are definitely not an ordinary family.

I don't ever get too literal.

If you're not confident, people push you around. That's it. It's super-simple.

-
I'm a fast learner, and I believe in change, and I believe in growing, and I believe in moving forward and not staying in the same place.

-
I'm not a children's songwriter. I'm not in that world.
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.

-
It's not a 'sexy' position, being the producer. You have to be very bossy. You have to be very aggressive.
Linda Perry 4 Non Blondes
-
I don't think I could make a pop album.
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.
