- Alison Moyet
About this Quote
Alison Moyet is describing her experience with a record label. She had been signed to the label since she was 21, but the label wanted her to make shiny pop music, which she didn't wish to do. She eventually discovered an independent label that was willing to let her make the music she wanted to make. The music she released with the independent label got great reviews in England and has now gone gold. This quote reveals that even when faced with difficulty, it is possible to discover success. It also shows that it is essential to remain true to yourself and your art, even when it might be tough.
"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization"
"Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer"
