My voice, my likeness is my livelihood. That's it. I keep it simple. I pick good products.

When you're holding people's attention, I feel you must give them high-quality ingredients. They deserve nothing but your best. And if they need information, get it, cross-check it, and try to be right. Do not waste their time; do not enjoy the ego trip of being onstage.

I'm trying to sell every audience something; that something is me.

Not working is bad for you. It is my drug, it gives me a high; most performers will tell you that. And there is nothing like the high that an audience gives you.

If you don't get feedback from your performers and your audience, you're going to be working in a vacuum.

The thing is I'm very interested in bad taste, as anyone who's ever seen me perform or had dinner with me would know.

I've learned over the years that you're going to be most successful at the things you're most excited to do. Every artist has a special set of tools. When you really use those tools, and you make yourself feel really good about the product you create, I think you'll find an audience for it. I've been very fortunate in that respect.

As a performer you are being used to keep people watching so the commercial endorsements that support the network can be seen by as many people as possible.

I'm a multi-platinum recording artist; my passion is food.

I definitely consider myself extremely blessed to have great partners in endorsing products. It's not about being on billboards. I endorse something because I believe in it.
