  • As for labeling someone a whistleblower, I think it does them - it does all of us - a disservice, because it "otherizes" us. -- Edward Snowden
  • It's fun seeing my label on someone's behind - I like that. -- Calvin Klein
  • It's a disease of critics that once they've labeled someone, it's very hard to change their perspective. It's laziness. -- Michael Haneke
  • There will be a moment in life, whether you're forceful or not, where someone will label you something that is negative. -- Christine Quinn
  • I have an aversion to being mislabeled. Here's a label I'd accept: I'm an 'individual.' I'm someone who can't follow, and doesn't want to lead. -- Joni Mitchell
  • I just write songs and hope that they do well. I'm sure there is some pressure from someone at the label, but I'd rather keep away from it. -- Gabrielle Aplin
  • I didn't think of myself as writing 'cli-fi,' but I'll take the label. I'll take any label that makes someone think they might be interested in my stories. -- Paolo Bacigalupi
  • It's just someone has labelled us as having a different label to do what you do. I find that labels are the worst thing in the world for artistic expression. -- Ornette Coleman
  • On everything I do I'm always taking someone's money, whether it's a movie studio or a record label. Somebody's paying for it, and I'm always respectful of that. But I'm never going to compromise. -- Spike Jonze
  • Even as someone who's labeled a conservative - I'm a Republican I'm black, I'm heading up this organization in the Reagan administration - I can say that conservatives don't exactly break their necks to tell blacks that they're welcome. -- Clarence Thomas
  • I made that first record in 2008, alongside the EP, but my label at the time waited three years to release it. They thought maybe someone bigger would buy it, but they didn't, so in the end they just released it themselves. -- Lana Del Rey
  • When you have a label stuck on you, people tend to believe it. If someone calls you suave and debonair, you only get offered parts in a suit and a collar and tie. It just so happens I wear them reasonably well. -- Charles Dance
  • I've always had a career. I have been working hard since I was 15 years old. Being someone's 'girlfriend' was never what I wanted to be famous for. What makes you 'famous' isn't always what you want to be 'labeled' as or known for. -- Adrienne Bailon
  • I think the record industry has gotten to be more about labels wondering what the new single is rather than labels nurturing artists. It's gotten away from making a full album of music that someone would want to listen to all the way through. -- John Varvatos
  • In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world. -- Annie Lennox
  • When you're doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it's a very different way of doing business than in London. You can't sign them in the usual way because they'd end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label like this. -- Damon Albarn
  • Creativity is much better when it's free. Someone can take it and sell it if that's what it needs, and from that standpoint, you have to have a label. If you could make your music and just give it away and somehow make a living - that would be the best scenario. -- Matthew Sweet
  • I've never tried to measure myself on any scale. A person is more multifaceted than the label they often get stuck with. On the other hand someone's whole behaviour allows you to characterise them in a certain way. This person has liberal convictions, that person has conservative ones, this person is a radical socialist, and so on. -- Dmitry Medvedev
  • Leaving the record companies tweaked something inside me and I realised I don't have to deal with labels to make something happen. If I want to meet someone, I don't have to go through the label - I'll just go to them. I took my life in my hands and social media has just helped me do that more. -- Imogen Heap
  • Imagine someone so infatuated by a band that they have every different pressing of every album the band made. Most of the time, the only difference in the album is the matrix number or a different 'made in' notation on the back cover or label. This is enough to make some people extremely excited. Actually, much more than excited. -- Henry Rollins
  • Every label thinks, when they sign someone, 'This is the perfect pedigree to sign. They're cute, they can sing, they can dance, et cetera.' And they say to the public, 'Here, this is what you're gonna like.' But you might say, 'No, I don't like that!' You'll probably say 'no' many more times than you'll say 'yes!' -- Randy Jackson
