Jimmy Iovine

Dre's from Compton, I'm from Brooklyn, and we both wanted to make a better life for ourselves, right? And we both - somehow, we're both recording engineers, that's how we got our break.

My life changed because Bruce Springsteen got on a mic in front of me.

To get people to pay for something that you built, it has to be of service. It has to make somebody's life better.

Life is a balance of fear and overcoming it.

Having a hit is nice, having some success, but when you move popular culture, that's a high.

Elvis Presley was the big bang. He was the most influential single figure in the history of American pop culture. He changed the way we looked, thought, dressed, held a guitar. He didn't invent rock & roll, but he defined it in a way that everyone who followed him owes him a debt.

There's just no way to stop a movement in popular culture. It's going to happen, with or without you. There's absolutely no way to stop that train.

Interscope Records has always been a heat-seeking missile when it comes to shifts in popular culture, whether inciting them or reacting to them swiftly.

I'm trying to help Apple Music be an overall movement in popular culture, everything from unsigned bands to video.

All I've ever wanted to do is move the needle on popular culture.

I learned everything about business and about music and stuff from being a second engineer.

Apple Music is trying to create an entire pop culture experience that includes audio and video. If South Park walks into my office, I'm not going to say, 'You're not musicians.' We're going to do whatever hits pop culture smack on the nose.
