If you spend a week at a casino you will very easily see that people have a certain way of behaving in a casino.

I see the people in Detroit are very - they're like a lot of cities, but they're very proud to be from there and they really want to see change and they really want to see good things happen.

Detroit is drunken idiots. It was no surprise to me. I performed with Kenny Rogers for one year as his opening act, and I got to visit every major American city and notice the audience, and Detroit was one of the worst.

Gambling is entertainment. People go to casinos to be entertained.

I love to go to casinos with my wife. I play poker, and she's an old-fashioned slot queen. She even has a visor.

I am worried about the potential effect of casinos on communities.

I wanted to disprove the notion that you couldn't open a great restaurant in a casino.

I think that Detroiters are some of the most resilient people in the world.

Now that I live in Los Angeles, if I meet somebody from Detroit, it's like there's this brother- or sisterhood, where we're real folks.

I don't gamble anymore since I had a kid. I have fun in Vegas. I see shows, Cirque du Soleil. Don Rickles was in town last time I was there. I'll have lunch with George Wallace. I just look in the Weekly calendar and see who's performing, and inevitably, we all meet up late night at one of the casinos. Jesus, I sound boring.
