“The thing I'm going through is probably like the same thing that Little Richard and all these other artists go through, that I hear about them, saying, 'Oh damn, you ain't gonna give me nothing till I die,' ... I feel like I'm one of those type of great people that just going to have to wait till it's all over with for people to really sit around and talk about it.”
“Before I was not in the television cameras every 5 minutes, I wasn't as visible, but this year I plan on being more visible to ensure that Virgin Rap Division does not lose. Although I am a very low key person, I am competitive, and with every ounce of my spirit, I will ensure that this label is taken seriously.”
“I'm happy to have a situation where I can work with Big Boi. Not just because we're both from Atlanta, but because of his creativity, his musical ear and his ability to find new talent. His association with Virgin will add to the excitement that I'm bringing to the label.”
“The timing is not right for us to record a song about the future when so many people have lost their lives. We will proceed in a few months, but right now it's about helping those who are dealing with the tsunami disaster and that should honestly be the focus.”
“I'm part of both worlds, and it's strange. I'm a president at Virgin, where they spent this huge amount of money to get Mariah out of the building, and now to see what's happened every time those songs come on, people at Virgin wince — and those songs come on a lot.”
“Phil is the best engineer I've ever worked with because he makes it a point to understand the music that he's mixing, so it makes your work sound ten times better.”
“People are just really overreacting. It's just feel good music. We at Virgin are in no way promoting sex or whatever these media outlets continue to print.”
“You'll hear my voice on some songs. The world has no idea what they're about to experience--Janet has the best production trio possible--and I guarantee, we will deliver!”
