I knew most of the people there who ran the places, a lot of wiseguys. They're all gone now. All good people.

I don't care if the average guy on the street really knows what I'm like, as long as he knows I'm not really a mean, vicious guy. My friends and family know what I'm really like. That's what's important.

I still have drive, but everything is relative.

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

When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.

Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.

What I do is, I make fun of people and I make fun of myself and things around us and exaggerate things. And I'm never mean-spirited. See, the word insult means some guy who's a real unkind human being. But I don't do that, because otherwise I wouldn't be headlining all these years, thank god, and all these people showing up to see me.
