You can take the guy out of the neighborhood but you can't take the neighborhood out of the guy.

Becoming successful is a relentless pursuit. Its good that its that way: When it does come, you learn to know how to appreciate it, and know how lucky you are to be doing something that you love so much.

It was very important to establish a sound, so that people heard a record on the radio and knew immediately that it was you.

I cherish the memory of being a friend of Frank Sinatra on a friendship level to the point where we really hung out. We worked in Vegas, wed talk on the phone, and if I wasnt doing anything, Id fly out, and I spent time in Palm Springs at his house - on a level the way friends would be, not with a whole crowd of people.

I grew up beyond proud - we didnt have much, but we had a lot of love.

At long last love has arrived, and I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you.

I dont play golf or tennis, I dont ski, I dont snowboard. If you love what you do, you never get enough of it.
