“I’ve come in and out of America for… well, I’ve lived here for 15 years. And I’ve played here for nearly 30 years. On and off. But I’ve always played to my fan base. And I can come and do two or three nights in New York or two or three nights in L.A., and all that. But when I go away, nobody knows I’ve been gone. You know, I don’t get reviewed or anything like that. So that’s why I’ve come back and done a longer time in a smaller place, in New York. It’s always the people who live here that get a chance to know me.” PeopleKnowsYearsWellsI CanTwoDoneAmericaNightThreeChanceGoneComedyFansNew YorkGoing AwayKnow MeNobody KnowsAnd Off Author:Billy Connolly
“As a white male in America, I have privilege. As a white male who happens to be an artist with a fan base, I have a platform to spread awareness about that privilege.

“In America there's a tendency to write the same book over and over because that's what sells. So in a way, my success in America has come at the expense of what I do. I haven't sold out, and I haven't taken the popular road to writing a best-selling book. I've really bucked the system. So it was necessary for me not to go and find the easy fans, the ones who want something digestible and fast with a happy ending that they can read over and over again no matter how many different books it is. I had to find fans who really wanted to think. Worldwide they all have that in common.” ThinkingWayWantWritingBookDifferentMatterWantedAmericaEasyCommonTakenFansHavensSellsSellingTendenciesExpensesWant SomethingHappy EndingsSold OutDifferent BooksSelling Books Author:Steven Tyler
