He never contributed a damn thing to music. (on Elvis Presley)

Let's Face it, - Sinatra is a king. He's a very sharp operator, a keen record chief, and has a keen appreciation of what the public wants.

Once or twice I`ve been described as a light comedian. I consider this the most accurate description of my abilities I`ve ever seen.

I think popular music in this country is one of the few things in the twentieth century that have made giant strides in reverse.

There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for (Bob) Hope, and there is nothing he wouldn't do for me ... We spend our lives doing nothing for each other.

I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me.

The things Elvis has done during his career and the things he has contributed and created are really something very important to the music business.
