My only failure was the restaurant in Myrtle Beach. I kept it open for four years. It was in a tourist town, it was only busy four and half, five months of the year. But the bills kept coming all year.

So I'm trying to spread myself to the point to where I can do the night shows and not have to worry about the matinees, and do one or two matinees down through the year.

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

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do know how to count.

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

I never made any money off of my records. It gave me the name across the country so that I could do some of the things in my personal appearances.

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