I see explicit covers on magazines, and they’re getting even more explicit, and it’s like, Are women being empowered, or is this just what sells magazines? Are they feeling pressured, or have they really come into themselves and are saying, ‘I am woman, hear me roar?’
I have this first album that sells more than 100,000 copies in its first week, debuts at number two, goes gold, the single goes platinum, we’re doing Madison Square Garden.

Listen carefully to the global warming alarmists, and the main theme that emerges is that what the developed world needs is a large dose of penance. What’s remarkable is the extent to which penance sells among a mostly secular audience. What is there to be penitent about?
Many musicians will say they don’t care about the money yet they must commit themselves to appear at given times and places, and to produce what sells, whether they believe in it or not. It depends on contracts.

I tell people all of the time that they would make any show in this business – whether it’s black, white, Hispanic, Jewish, Colombian, Dominican – whatever. They’ll make it if it sells. It’s a business. It’s not personal.
All the marketing and advertising sells the book as what it is and hopes that the book will be displayed so that your readers can find it.

Your agent should be invested in the success of your book past the contract stage. After all, if it sells well, she’s going to be getting 15 percent of every dime you make. She can be your best advocate in fighting for your book – not just with editing and the cover, but with marketing and sales as well.
I always felt that the music sells by itself. The music has always been the successful aspect on my career, and that means that, to me, I can always still stay very focused on music.
If it sells, it sells. If it doesn’t sell, I’ll go make a movie.
If I do five, six records that sound great, I want it to come out as fast as it can. I don’t care how many copies it sells. It’s about musically moving the needle.

If your album sells, that’s cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we’re really about-which is a live rock and roll band.
It used to be that you had to do a certain number of episodes to hit syndication in order to try to keep a show on, because it’s important to the network because it sells good commercial time. That’s really not how HBO does things.

A good column is one that sells paper. It doesn’t matter how beautifully it is written and how much you admire the author… if it doesn’t sell any papers, it’s not a good column. It’s a terrible yardstick to use, but in the newspaper business, that’s the whole thing.
I don’t think I have to combat Airbnb. It is like comparing Tiffany to a shop that sells things for one dollar.
