CONSIDER THE ARTIST MANAGER

  • Artists have no problem with paying managers commission when they [the artists] aren’t earning money but as soon as they do, some of them become resentful, forgetting the blood, sweat and tears you have put in over the formative years. Every manager dreams of discovering and nurturing that talent, not out of vanity but through entrepreneurial ambition. They have careers to pursue, but people seem to think they are doing it for fun.” – The Observer (UK) 11/26/00
