I wiggle my shoulders, I shake my legs, I walk up and down the stage, I hop around on one foot. But I never bump and grind. Why, that's vulgar. I'd never do anything vulgar before an audience. My mother would never allow it.

The image is one thing and the human being is another...it's very hard to live up to an image.

I've tried to lead a straight, clean life, not set any kind of a bad example.

I was an overnight sensation.

I did the Ed Sullivan show four times. I did the Steve Allen show. I did the Jackie Gleason show.

I want to entertain people. That's my whole life. To my last breath.

I'm trying to keep a level head. You have to be careful out in the world. It's so easy to get turned.
