One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.

You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth.

I love taking chances.

If it were not for the bad things that've happened to me, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

When you take of a man's time, you've taken a part of his life.
