Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark.

Critics don't buy records. They get 'em free.

Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.

I'm not playing for other musicians. We're trying to reach the guy who works all day and wants to spend a buck at night. We'll keep him happy.

I am an American citizen and feel I am entitled to the same rights as any other citizen.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

I'm a businessman. I work for business people. The kind of thing they say is: Now we've sold a lot of records, let's sell some more.
