I'm no hillbilly singer.

I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.

It's not just self defense, it's about...self control, body discipline, and mind discipline...and breath techniques. It involves yoga. It involves meditation. It's an art, not a sport.

I'll be a fool or a wiseman, my darling, you hold the key. Anyway you want me, that's how I will be.

We can't build our dreams on suspicious minds.

I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.

[It's] funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the daytime.
