Being the best Quote by Matthew Sweet

“Creativity is much better when it's free. Someone can take it and sell it if that's what it needs, and from that standpoint, you have to have a label. If you could make your music and just give it away and somehow make a living - that would be the best scenario.” quote by Matthew Sweet
