It's irrelevant. — Nicolas Winding Refn

Why do I have to do a regular album right now? I don't understand it. — Lykke Li

Concerning iTunes, the deals have mainly been done with the record companies. But the artists, with some exceptions, haven't been very well-represented. This is partly because the record companies have largely been copyright owners. — Peter Gabriel
