If you were blessed with a fortunate position... why wouldn't you want to impact the world around you as much as possible?

I think I've interviewed probably 1,500 people in my 24-year business career.

Now that Sacramento is building an arena downtown, they're the only one not in an urban core. The only one. It's really not good business. It's nothing against Auburn Hills, Oakland County or L. Brooks Patterson. An arena in the middle of a field is not an ideal thing.

Danny Ferry did a very good job when he was here and put the franchise up to a certain level, as did Mike Brown, and his contract had ended after five years, and, ultimately, both sides decided they wanted to do other things. No hard feelings at all there.

As much as money is important for security, for me, it is worth nothing without music.

And I kind of feel that I have a responsibility to the people that invest their time and money with me to show up on the set every day and do the best of which I am capable.

Winning is obviously the biggest thing. Because if you don't win, nothing really matters. You can have all the money in the world, and they can still call you a loser.

Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.
