Someone told me there was a publisher that could find a good home for my songs, but I didn't want to give up my pursuit of a career in the business as an artist.
There are certain people who have become better artists, but they're brilliant at marketing. I think someone who's been phenomenal like that is Madonna.
When you have great songs that are going to live longer than the composers, everything you can do to bring those different elements and nuances out, serve the song.
