I feel that if entertainment is that important, the media, then it's my duty, not only to mankind but to God, to fulfill the promise that I carry on this work. If someone, for instance, can forget their pains and their ills and their strife by watching any performer then I think this work is worthwhile.

You know the bank I used to cry all the way to. I bought it.

I don't give concerts, I put on a show.

You can have either the Resurrection or you can have Liberace. But you can't have both.

Nakedness makes us democratic, adornment makes us individuals.

Men's clothes are becoming kind of mod. They're becoming more colorful and more flamboyant, and the male peacock is beginning to show his true plumage.

When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.
