All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.

The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.

When I owned the theater, I had the Glen Miller Orchestra. I had 20 girls singing and dancing. I had a cast of characters. It was a big group production, as well as ushers, ticket takers.

Sammy Davis, I backed him up. I used to study him every night. I saw how great performers worked and was able to incorporate a little bit from the best.

I remember Mick Jagger asking me 'hey, how do you guys feel about us coming over here and taking all the play from you guys?' I said 'Well, in a way, you have eliminated all my competition.

All around as a person, on right decisions, on holding your money, on doing your trade, a good education is a must. I don't think I would've done as good without an education.

Hey, we've all been to high school We've seen the in-crowds. Most of us have been in the outer crowds, the people who weren't in. Although I was never in, I was selling records and was very happy.

They said hey look, The Beatles deserve to be number one, not Bobby Vinton. We're gonna cut your tires. Change that listing. They were dedicated at the time.

To me, there is nothing better than me going into the studio with a live band and hearing those violins and that echo and that sound. I mean I loved it.

To me, there was nothing greater than to play for an audience and to entertain people and that has stayed with me all these years.

I did have a big following in the upper New York area. I was at the New York State Fair a few times over the years. I have areas that I say are my areas.

I'm very blessed to have a phenomenal husband, son, and beautiful family and friends around me.

Our domestic affections are the most salutary basis of all good government.

The strikebreaker is the hero of American industry.

There is in every country an antipathy to the foreigner.

God may have created the world in six days, but while he was resting on the seventh, Beelzebub popped up and did this place.

Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that's always going to exist. But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them.

Constantly scanning the world for the negative comes with a great cost. It undercuts our creativity, raises our stress levels, and lowers our motivation and ability to accomplish goals.

I understand things that are American, for better or worse.

I will not rule out anything. I don't speculate on my own future. I'll wait and see what happens.

You may my Glories and my State depose, But not my Griefes; still am I King of those.
