I'm set to have my best year ever: I'm hiring some acts and there will be a show in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. I'm going to use my theater to its fullest potential.

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.

I try to stay ahead of things, if you know what I mean. I take the money I make and reinvest it.

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.

I guess the nicest thing about being, I won't say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you've got a recognizable name, a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn't get done.

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

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