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

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 don't own everything, I do have a partner.

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

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

I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.

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