I would like to get nominated for a Grammy, but I don't set out to do that anymore, though, 'cause I never felt like I got my just due in the business, period anyway.

So that's where it differs for me now, it's the creativity, versus, the raunchiness from back in the days. So I just try to be more creative nowadays.

I want to tell everybody that you won't hear me trying to pop bottles in the club and all that kind of stuff. It's just not me and I think as long as you stay within your element and your age bracket, sure you're going a couple of young folks and teens, but that's not who I'm focused on. I'm really not. I love whoever supports, but I'm just not going to try and go back there because times have changed. If you don't move with the times, you'll get left off. I'm trying to change with the times.

I think the legacy that I'll leave is just a great entertainer, and that's what I want to be remembered as, a great entertainer.

I was trying to find my way into the music business still, but I didn't want to portray something that I wasn't. I really wanted to be just me.

It's always good to have your fan base and to continue to do what you love to do and making a living and seeing the people and travel and do everything, it's always a great thing for me.

When you have kids and you're married...you know, life takes its toll on you after a while, and then you're just not as creative, you're not as motivated... And it takes a special person when it's time to dig down and do a record, to really go in there and pour out whatever it is you got in you to put on a record, and that's what we did.
