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.

All I have to concentrate on is my performing.

All I want to do is do my shows and play golf.

If I cut an album now and sell it for ten bucks, I can put seven dollars and fifty cents in my pocket.

There used to be a lot of acts, which was good, because people don't want to see the same act every night. But, you don't want too many acts, you don't want to over-saturate it.

Don't all the girls get prettier at closing time?

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.
