I’m really good at bringing out greatness – in anybody. I don’t even have to be in the studio. What a gift to be able to help people bring out the best qualities in them. Linda Perry Read Quote

My process of songwriting comes from a very real place: a place that when you watch ‘American Idol’ – God bless it, it’s probably an awesome experience that these people are having, but it’s not a real one. Linda Perry Read Quote
I’ve had many songs where I’ve gone, ‘Oh, my God, this song is going to be huge!’ but it wasn’t the right artist, or something just didn’t happen. It didn’t make the song any worse. It just didn’t line up. That does happen. Linda Perry Read Quote
For me, to have had an impact with anything that you’ve done, whether it’s a painting, a photo, a poem, or something that you’ve created, just that experience is enormous. You don’t get that all the time. Linda Perry Read Quote
I have to meet everybody I work with before I work with them. Before I say yes, I have to meet them, and then I take it from there. I don’t care if you’ve had the best record or the worst. That doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care about that stuff. Linda Perry Read Quote
When making any record, a producer has a list of things you hope an artist brings to the studio. Songs that are strong even without the bells and whistles. Linda Perry Read Quote
