Zitat des Tages von Scooter Braun:
Balance in general is difficult, but I refuse to go through life and just have work and not have good balance. I want to be an example, not only to my own children but also to artists and other entrepreneurs, that you can be a workaholic and also be a good husband and good father.
I got offered a bunch of reality show stuff, but I didn't want to be known for that, so I turned it all down.
I think 'manager' is a stupid word.
A lot of times in this business, we forget that we're surrounded by a lot of really good people.
I believe we have a higher responsibility to each other.
Hatred will never win.
If my ambition was to stay a manager the rest of my life, then I'd probably follow what people think managers are supposed to be like, but my ambition was never to be a manager.
What you see is what you get with me.
When I look at acts, I look at the worldwide potential. And what travels wide is melody.
My wife deals with real problems. My problems aren't problems - they're inconveniences.
For me, the most fun times in this office are when we're listening to music. That's what you signed up for, not to just make deals.
Where I've been able to be successful in our company's path is the fact that people think that we kill it, because they don't see our failures. Because we don't talk about them.
I think caring as much as we do has been our greatest asset and really allowed us to build such a great company. It might not be conventional, but that's the way I'd rather live my life.
I never like to talk about things until we're already successful. The moment you announce what you're thinking about doing, you've already created a ticking time bomb.
I don't think you're selling out by allowing the masses to love your art. The only curse is that, when you get so big, sometimes people forget to look at the music.
People told me I was nuts when I went to sign an act from YouTube - and now, that's one of the most conventional things you can do as an agent or manager.
I think the reason why people loved 'Jem' in the '80s was because it kind of gave them this story of a place to fit in. It's about finding your place.
I believe in karma.
If that day come, and artists I've had incredible runs with just break my heart one day, you know what? I still got to do stuff that was actually really incredible. When that day comes, I'll deal with it. Until then, I'll be grateful for today.
Kanye's the best listener I've ever worked with. If I interrupt Kanye, every single time, he'll wait for me to finish before speaking. It's a running joke - sometimes I interrupt him just to see. And he always goes, 'No, no, finish. I want to hear what you have to say.'
I had very big lips growing up, so my brother started to call me Scooter Fish because he decided a scooter fish has big lips.
There are a lot of great albums that take a year to connect.
What has now become conventional in terms of digital marketing and the discovery of new talent was once very unconventional - and people forget that.
If you can help someone become a good young woman or a good young man, they have a better chance of surviving in this business.
When I was 25, I had risked everything to launch Justin Bieber and was a couple months away from losing everything.
I enjoy difficult tasks. What's hard is finding the people to do them and finding a team to actually enjoy success. That is the real challenge of success.
If you really love someone, you can't be angry if they don't love you the same way. You got to just love them because you love them, not because you're expecting anything back in return.
