I always thought that the ironic nature of us being on the same label as Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin was that that’s where we belong. We need to be right there, totally legitimate—not half-legitimate, not half-assed. All of it, I want the whole thing. Because we’re not an exclusive club. I’ve always thought that our records should sell millions and millions of copies.
