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

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

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

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

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

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.
