I don't have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.

You can't run a business just by selling one thing.

I'm not into fame. I'm not into making money, outside of financing my books. I'm not into status. My thing is basically about time - not wasting it.

But you have to be creative on how you sell yourself and market yourself.

I want to be in this business as long as this business will have me.

You're either making money or you're not. If you're not making money get out of the business.

In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it.

You have to be willing to risk things; otherwise, somebody else will put you out of business.

I'm a businessman as well as an entertainer. The reason why is because I want to own whatever I'm doing. I don't want to work for other people forever.
