“Due to a chocolate buffet. They put a chocolate buffet against my show and everybody got up and walked out to the chocolate buffet and if I knew I would have gone myself.”

“I’d just got the show right but don’t take anything for granted I say and you have to fail in this industry. I’ve failed a lot and that’s in the book and the failures really. I’ve learned a lot the hard way.”
