If I live to be 90, and I'm planning to, I'll always love performing for a live audience.

My first appearance, the first time I try anything, invariably is not very successful. I tend to grow slowly, but solidly.

By 1969, when I celebrated 45 years in the music business, I also had 45 people in our musical family.

I played a Spaniard. I looked about as Spanish as any other fair-skinned German.
