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.

All I have to concentrate on is my performing.

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 a few stocks, but stocks took a dive. I never sell my stocks.

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

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.
