"It’s easy when you have lots of television and lots of appearances on the schedule anyway. The more television you do, the more visible you are and the more people want to see you. It’s almost amazing that it’s been four years since we’ve had an actual album out,"

Most of the time you have a staff of many people in those divisions that take care of everything instead of one person being over publicity and promotions. You have a staff of anywhere from 10 to maybe 200 people. Of course, that makes a difference."
"I am one of those people that believes that if I am going through something, somebody else out there among those billions of people living on this Earth is going through something similar, if not the same thing,"
