"I'm not sure if music got a future. We have all these electronic ways to download and steal music and get music, but there's no money in makin' music."

I really believe that if I make records that are indispensable to my audience, they'll go out and spend money to buy them, even if they've already downloaded them. If they can afford it. If they can't, I'd rather they be able to download it than not get it at all.
