I remember in 37 when trolley cars were so big in New York. It was five cents for a ride... There used to be open-air buses, and you could go up a spiral staircase and sit up on top. Those were great, great days.

I'd love to see Christ come back to crush the spirit of hate and make men put down their guns. I'd also like just one more hit single.

In order to have a TV series, you have to have a good idea for the story.

Remember, it's better to be a has-been than a never-been.

When I look at great singers like Sinatra, Bennett and (Tom) Jones, I see great performers that can really move an audience. I really consider myself a troubadour privately and a song-plugger publicly.

Be content to be what you are; shiny stones and silver bangles only make you look what you really are.

I hope I dont give music a bad name.
