My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I’ve been through.

Destiny, if I could sit across the porch from God, I’d thank Him for Lending me you…..

I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.

Es como saber que eres el centro, lo único que él ve, que solo te ve a ti. Y eso es tan tierno y excitante… es terrorífico, increíble. Es saber que sólo existe una persona...

I don’t have an album cover with me on a broomstick.

An album is like a book or a diary or a snapshot… It just feels so like the end of a chapter when you finish one.

If I like it, it’s gonna be on my album. You can’t please everyone.

I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.

The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There’s a different focus; there’s a different sound.

Make a good gallery! Your names and your photos give you a unique identity. Make and maintain a good name in the hearts of people. Paint good photos in their minds.

It’s a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

I don’t want to put 12 singles on an album. I want to make a story, a little movie.

I would say that my peak was making my first million at the ripe age of 29, after the first album.

When you look at the Lady Gagas of the world, or the Jay-Zs, or the Black Eyed Peas, these are people who have one album release and it’s a worldwide one.

I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.

I think any real one-sheet for an album would say, ‘Well, here’s what I’ve been doing.’ And that would be it.

When I was recording my first solo album ‘Imaginaryland,’ I was listening to a lot of movie scores.

My first album was completed in three months.

When you listen to a Yes album, you should listen to the whole thing through headphones with the lights off.

I always wanted to have my own album recorded and released before I graduated high school.

95% of the album is my writing, by choice, because it seems to be what the distributors want.

I don’t care at all about the mainstream; I don’t care about popularity contests; I don’t care about who’s got the biggest-selling album; and I don’t care about glossy production.

I want to produce a country album for a country singer.

Mormons aren’t gonna buy my album but, you know, what are you gonna do?

The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.

The sky is full of dreams, but you don’t know how to fly.

I think every album you have, especially if it’s done well, you feel like you’re competing with yourself.

Every time I do an album, I say, ‘That’s the last one.’

What I don’t do is try to like become whoever I’m rapping with. The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL.

And it wasn’t until ’84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.

I’ve always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world… and I’ve had offers to perform from around the world and I’m tempted to do it. I’ve got itchy lips.

The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL. They don’t want to hear LL trying to sound like DMX or whoever else is out there. That’s not what they want to...

If you’re only making an album every 10 years, it better be good.

I made a record album in 1960 and it exploded, and I got all these offers for TV.

An album is such a personal thing. It’s something I always wanted to do. It’s me doing me, singing as me.

I wouldn’t mind doing Broadway, but I am definitely trying to get a album out there first.

My first album is like a terrible John Hammond album, with drums.

I made my first album, and I guess it wasn’t a fluke, because now I’m on my 16th.

My new album that I’m creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I’ve developed getting to know my fans. They protect me, so now it’s my destiny to...

I could never say Rza’s trash. But he didn’t come with the right formula on ‘8 Diagrams.’ I think ‘Cuban Linx 2’ will have the Clan back where they need to be, but then it’s...

Mutineer is the first album of mine without a demo stage.

I want to communicate through my music. If you want to know Geri Halliwell listen to my album: it tells you more about me than a documentary ever could.

It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
