I'm very close to my parents and we built a sailboat together when I was growing up. We're partners.

I was named after the next-door neighbor's German shepherd. It was either that or Cadillac Smith.

When I got out of high school I hit the road. I lived like a gypsy. Those were the best times of my life. I was living from club to club not knowing where my next meal was coming from. No credit cards, no apartment, no bills, no managers, just on the road with a truck and five guys.

My father always said, 'It ain't bragging if it's true.'

I had a very crazy aunt and uncle who we traded my brother Webster to for a Siamese cat. It was heaven to live with my aunt and uncle because you got spoiled to death.

I can get into politics. I'm a pretty straight guy for this business. I have a pretty healthy outlook.

Everything is disposable now: disposable lighters, disposable blades, disposable stars. They inflate you up for one big deal and then they look for someone else.
