Key quotes
· 5 pulledI'm not a political person. I'm an entertainer. I'm a performer. I'm an artist. And I'm a businessman.
You're not gonna tell me who I can and cannot perform for. You're not gonna tell me who I can and cannot work for.
I've been doing this for 30 years. I've performed for presidents, I've performed for kings, I've performed for queens, I've performed for everybody.
If you don't like it, don't come. Don't watch. Don't listen. But don't try to take food out of my mouth.
This is America. I have the right to work. I have the right to perform. I have the right to make a living.
