It's one thing for the industry to lose half its revenue to piracy; it's another to destroy it emotionally.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I'm not a pioneer of hip-hop; I just saw it and said, 'This thing is incredible, and these people are incredible. They should be exposed all over the world.'
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Algorithms are great, but they're very limited in what they can do as far as playing songs and playing a mood.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I couldn't do a show; I have about as much talent to do television as, you know... it's not what I do. I wouldn't know where to begin.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Digital sound is damaging music; it's damaging the artists. It's so degrading.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
If you follow the lead of the artists, they will take you places that you could never go on your own.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I'm interested in listening to the people who walk in the door. If your ego and your accomplishments stop you from listening, then they've taught you nothing.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
If you're looking for a quick hit, that means you're looking for something disposable.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I'm happy with studio infiltration, but I'm thrilled when I see 12- to 20-year olds walking down the street with Beats and not two-dollar earbuds.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I learned everything about business and about music and stuff from being a second engineer.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I'm really interested in the record industry and the artists and the problems they're having.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Dre's from Compton, I'm from Brooklyn, and we both wanted to make a better life for ourselves, right? And we both - somehow, we're both recording engineers, that's how we got our break.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
If you tell a kid, 'You've got to pick music or Instagram,' they're not picking music.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
There was a time when, for anybody between the ages of 15 and 25, music was one, two and three.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
A chart that weighs some ad-supported streams the same as a pay stream... encourages artists to promote free tiers to have a No. 1 record. That's great for the tech companies, but not for artists.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Interscope is run more like a rock band than a record company. It's run in a very spontaneous, heartfelt way.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Dylan captured what was on a million minds and turned it into poetry. With 'Blowin' in the Wind' or 'The Times They Are A-Changin',' he set a whole new standard.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Just because you like something, that doesn't mean that you have a feel for it.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I follow cool. When I went up to see Steve Jobs, I said, 'The party's at this guy's house.'
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
What we feel, especially in the streaming area, especially in the services area, is that you need curation.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
We created Apple Music to make finding the right music easier for everyone - men and women, young and old.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
You go into any recording studio in the world, and you see candles, lights, and that Apple light from a Mac.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Over four or five years, I did six albums with three people: John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, and Patti Smith. I felt that if I could care as much about their music as they did, I could be useful to them. I really cared about their music and their lives.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
You're only as good as your weakest link in the ecosystem of sound, of audio.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I love doing third albums. A group makes its first album, and then the record company rushes them into the studio to make their second album. After that, they go, 'Whoa, wait a second.' They get a little more confident. They step back and say, 'Okay, now we're gonna do it.'
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
If I were going to teach a course, it would be called Don't Breathe Your Own Exhaust.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I knew in my heart that I wasn't cool, but I figured I could at least be cool by association.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I wanted a label that reflects the times... a center for artists who want to express themselves. That's what makes Interscope unique. It's about freedom.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Apple Music is trying to create an entire pop culture experience that includes audio and video. If South Park walks into my office, I'm not going to say, 'You're not musicians.' We're going to do whatever hits pop culture smack on the nose.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
Most technology companies are culturally inept. They're never going to get curation right.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
I am blessed with the energy of a chimpanzee. There is nothing I can't get up for and give it a hundred percent.
Quote by -Jimmy Iovine
When we did Beats, we had to begin again. Nobody at Best Buy knew who we were.
