If you're not on a major label today, you're not gonna get played. They've got the market sewed up.

I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.

All I have to concentrate on is my performing.

I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't have a lot of money in them, though.

Cause I can make more money going in and doing my recordings and selling them through my entities that I have, rather than going to a record co. and them release a record and pay me 5 percent of what they make off it.

If you have good food, people will come to your restaurant.

A record co. is just a vehicle for public appearances.
