Interview conducted by Jenny Jimenez:

On his America's Got Talent fame: "Sharon Osborne called me boring and gay so I told her off. It was much longer... they heavily edited it for television but they still put me in the opening of the show. Every episode has me in the beginning."

On his lifestyle: "I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I'm a single father to three kids."

On being a freak: "I see frat guys walking around all looking the same. Same shorts, same shoes, same hats.. and they think I'm the freak?!"

Investors..

Working on investors today.. It seems that to make money you have to spend money.. of course that is how the world works....it seems that to find investors you have to spend money.. so you become an investor yourself.. spending money to find people that want to give you money.. its sorta discouraging because you never know who is just trying to take your money..I have faith that we will find someone that has enough courage to give us the funding we need to get our production space open...
