There's nothing better than seeing people you know being able to work and support their families. Knowing you have a little hand in it? Now, that really makes you feel good.
I know Huntington and people like the kid mayor and Don (Maynard) the police man. I know Don and his wife and kids, and he was promoting our shows when we were nothing. And there's people like that in so many towns that have been so good to you.
I never said I wanted to be around for a long time. I always said I wanted to be here for a good time.
My good friends call me Bobby.
I think generally I'm a pretty good person if I had to grade myself. Or toot my own horn.
I always looked up to so many people before me and was lucky to become such good friends with them. I learned so much hanging out with those cats.
Chris Rock is a good friend of mine, and he is hysterical.
The Super Bowl is helping out. It's nice that people are bringing some money into Detroit.

What perfect timing. I got a record coming up ... Maybe I should thank him.
My goal is to get quieter as I get older.
