ABCNEWS' ROBIN ROBERTS: How are you doing?

COMBS: I'm doing great. I'm doing great.

ROBERTS: OK, now. You know, my mom always taught me to be polite. What do I call you? You have so many different names.

COMBS: I mean, the whole name thing change thing is just another level of flavor, another level of fun, another — another level of freedom. We're just out here having a good time, out here promoting this new album.

ROBERTS: Right.

COMBS: P. Diddy & the Bad Boy Family: The Saga Continues. The past is in the past. We're looking forward to a bright future. We have a lot of positive things going on. We just want to share that with my fans. Just trying to get it back to — to what I'm — I'm really known for, which is making music, making people dance, making people have a good time.

ROBERTS: And you've really talked about how in this — in this last year you've learned a lot.

COMBS: Yes.

ROBERTS: And you've grown a lot.

COMBS: Yes, I have.

ROBERTS: How have you grown up?

COMBS: Just getting your priorities straight. A lot of times in this business, this business, like, drains you. And you become obsessed with it, you know, being — being a leader in it. And sometimes you lose focus on your personal life as far as your family and just the simple things. And I had to just get my priorities straight. And as far as keeping God first in my life, keeping my family first, and just — just constantly being focused and appreciating the simple things in life. And — and — and that's — living in the moment. And that's the space I'm in right now. And that's what reflected in the new album and also in my music right now. I feel real good about it.
