In the music business, I found it was much more about interviews, photo shoots and appearances rather than actual performing, which I do best.

The nature of the music business is such that it's better to have a few chances for some things to be successful than just one, and that's kind of been my attitude all along.

If you look at the way people behave at shows, icons are now musicians; they are the people that we worship.

Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.

Things can turn ugly so quickly in the music business, especially if you have an unexpected success.

I got out of the music industry many years ago. I had a charlatan for a producer who I wanted nothing to do with. He's dead now, so I guess I can't beat that horse any more. It left a very bad taste in my mouth, so I just went on about my business doing what I do and not involving myself with record companies, except for distribution.

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.
