I've crashed my car three times.

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

Hup hup ha ha hammy hee hee!

Nobody on my staff is on salary. The money goes straight to the charities.

I don't like public venues. I never know what to wear.

From here on in, Harry, I may be as woefully wrong as Humphrey Belcher who believed the time was ripe for a cheese cauldron.
