A man in passion rides a horse that runs away with him.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone is consumed by strong emotions or passions, they can lose control of the situation and be led astray. It symbolizes the intense nature of our desires and how they can overpower our rationality, causing us to make impulsive decisions. Just like a horse that runs away with its rider, our emotions can take the reins and guide our actions in a chaotic and unpredictable manner. It serves as a warning to be mindful of our passions and maintain a balance between our emotions and logic to avoid being carried away by our desires.

When I cut my record, I'm just going to cut the things that I like, and whoever likes it, likes it. That's too much work to try to figure out the demographic. That's too much like a business.
