Pardon the way that I stare, there's nothing else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak, there are no words left to speak.

Jazz was my first love.

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

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 do belong to Jersey. There's no doubt about that in my mind. They have been so loyal and so good to me, how could I possibly belong any place else?

I always believed a singer should be able to sing any kind of song. If I wanted to sing a Cole Porter song, I should be able to do that. Or Sherry, I should be able to do that. Or a Dylan song.

I'm going to be as big as Sinatra.
