What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can.

The only male singer who I've seen besides myself and who's better than me--that is Michael Jackson.

I lived in a plenty tough neighborhood. When somebody called me a 'dirty little Guinea', there was only one thing to do-break his head. When I got older, I realized that you shouldn't do it that way. I realized that you've got to do it through education. Children are not to blame. It is the parents. How can a child know whether his playmate is an Italian, a Jew or Irish, unless the parents have discussed it in the privacy of their homes.

The best revenge is the massive success.

[Dean Martin] is an absolute, unqualified drunk. And if we ever develop an Olympic drinking team, he's gonna be the coach... Dean Martin has been stoned more often than the United States embassies.

The best revenge is massive success.

If I had as many love affairs as I've been given credit for, I'd be in a jar at the Harvard Medical School.
