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

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

I dont really believe in regrets.

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

I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.

Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.

But one man never laughed. He was a giant among men. He was Bobby Darin and he was my friend.
