When you can only get so much radio airplay -- which is mainly taken over by major labels -- (TV) helps with a critical-mass kind of approach.

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.

Even when I'm dreading it, I want to talk about it - it only helps me.

The oddest things can become major barriers.

Nissan is the only major Japanese automaker that has suppliers producing modules and parts in a Nissan factory, which helps cut logistics cost and inventory cost.

When one neighbor helps another, we strengthen our communities.
