I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've made a lot of people a lot of money, and I've made a lot of people really happy. I've entertained millions and millions of people.
What fun is life without a bit of showing off?
I could go out to five parties a day if I wanted to. I don't. I have attachments to my wife and kids - and about 20 pieces of art.
As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.
Everyone wants to go to the party and the red carpet, but my life is 90% the work.
On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.
I'm really not a party person. I'm in the business of working with 100 people every day, so I don't revel in meeting a roomful of people in my leisure time.
I am one of those artists who knows where their money is. I pay my bills; I take care of my mama. I handle my business. I am a businessman. I go to meetings and take care of things, so it's a lot more than just partying and turning up.
I've thrown way more movie parties than real parties. My real life is so much more boring.
Once you get into entertaining a quarter of a million people, it's a very weird place to be.
