When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.

Once in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, How many more years do I have on this earth? But I can't really conceive of dying. Somehow, in my head, I don't think I'll die. I know that everybody dies, of course. I just think that it'll never come to me. It's crazy, but there it is.

Whatever you do to gain success, you have to hang in there and hope good things happen. Always think positive.

I've never had a writer, and I'm proud of that. Everything I've per­formed has been from my own head.

I've never gambled a dime. Never, in all my years in Vegas.

I take pride in being very unique in what I do. Nobody else can do what I do and I don't mean to say that egotistically, it's just something in my personality.

When you do see me, you'll get the idea from when you see me that it's all off the top of my head. A lot of it is a beginning, middle and the end. But it's different every night. I have a lot of jokes in my back pocket I've said over the years.
