I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up, my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had - it was all - these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs, like, my whole life, so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing.

I'm a hopeful romantic. In a couple of drinks, I'll be a lucky romantic. That's why they call me Mr. Lucky.

Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising.

I'm the star of stage, screen, and television now, but I'm also available for children's parties and bar mitzvahs.

I don't think I've had a more miserable life than a lot of people. I think I've had a pretty lucky life.

The one thing I’ve always had going for me was people’s low expectations. Nobody ever expects a whole hell of a lot from me.

I hate modern car radios. In my car, I don't even have a push-button radio. It's just got a dial and two knobs. Just AM. One knob makes it louder, and one knob changes the station. When you're driving, that's all I want.
