I Don't Have Many Easy Songs.

Part Of Show Business Is Magic. You Don't Know How It Happens.

I've Done Some Things I Wish I Could Erase. . . . I Invented Mistakes. But The Mistakes Must Be Seen In Context, And They Must Be Weighed Along With The Positives.

There Are Lines That I Know Are Going To Get A Belly Laugh, But After A Few Shows I Get Sick Of Hearing Myself Say Them So I Drop Them.

You Name It And I've Done It. I'd Like To Say I Did It My Way. But That Line, I'm Afraid, Belongs To Someone Else.

I Have A Respect For Elvis And My Friendship. It Ain't My Business What He Did In Private. The Only Thing I Want To Know Is, 'was He My Friend?', 'did I Enjoy Him As A Performer?', 'did He Give The World Of Entertainment Something?' - And The Answer Is Yes On All Accounts. The Other Jazz Just Don't Matter.
