We bought a lot ordsprog

en We bought a lot of musical equipment, and that doesn't hold value. Other than that, most of the money went back into our record company, The Mint. We made a lot of money, but we haven't put a record out in five years.

en The revenues from the commemorative coins were just incredible and it prompted the Mint to come up with the idea for the statehood quarters. We are talking minting into the billions of coins. While the Mint doesn't make money on all the coins they do make money on the proof sets and the silver dollar proof sets. But more importantly, it introduced people to the Mint's Web site.

en It got to the point where we doing so much touring and playing, and the money really wasn't coming in. All of a sudden, I'm 30 years old, and I was like holy shit, I've got a wife now, and I've got a kid coming. When we started this band, we weren't even thinking about money, and now all of a sudden everything was money, money, money.

en In 1995, I ran into a brick wall, ... I had no band anymore, and the music business was getting quite soulless. It seemed like the big record companies were mostly interested in eating each other and promoting music as product. They didn't really believe in rock and roll anymore. How was someone like me going to fit into that? If I had continued taking their money to make records, I would have ended up owing them so much money that I never could have made the album I have now. They wanted my soul in hock, and I refused to fall into their trap. I just stopped putting out records when I knew they would turn out shitty, and I waited until I found a company [Sanctuary] that really wanted a Billy Idol record. It's not just a (expletive) job! You can't go out there with people you hate and music that sucks. I suppose it was a gamble staying away so long, but it's paid off because I'm happy. I'm happy to be Billy Idol with a quality Billy Idol record. How's that for a marketing tactic?

en If you've got a speculative mining stock and it hasn't made any money yet, you need to worry. If there is a price drop in gold, the companies that have proven that they can make money will hold up better, and the ones that haven't made a profit will have a problem.

en I wouldn't call it a hard landing. I think it will be tough to make money, but to me a hard landing is when not everyone is losing money, closing plants and jobs are being lost.

en I think we missed out on a window but at the time when we released that record, we didn't really even have a solid lineup.

en I've never really thought about any individual records, ... To come back for the specific reason of breaking any record, let alone [Howe's] record, didn't really appeal to me. Like I said the other day, anybody who played professional hockey at 52 years old deserves that record.
