I would like to be remembered as a man who brought an innovation to popular singing.

I think my greatest ambition in life is to pass on to others what I know.

You only go around once, but if you play your cards right, once is enough.

Trouble just seems to come my way-unbidden, unwelcome, unneeded.

I want to be buried with a Zippo, a roll of dimes & a bottle of Jack!

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.

For my money Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business.
