I played Vegas at the age of 16 years old, in 1959.
When I die, I'd like to come back as a cello.
Once you're a Virginian, you're always a Virginian.
All of our early hits, 'Danke Schoen' and 'Red Roses,' were produced by Bobby Darin.
I'm better off working as opposed to lying around.
I have been involved with the USO really my entire life. The first show I did for the USO, I was nine years old.
But one man never laughed. He was a giant among men. He was Bobby Darin and he was my friend.
One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.
When you take of a man's time, you've taken a part of his life.
You can take of a man's money, but when it's all said and done, you've only taken his money.
Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.
There's no room in my life for feeling sorry for myself.
I don't really believe in regrets.
If it were not for the bad things that've happened to me, I wouldn't be the person I am today.
I love taking chances.
I've always had great faith in people.
I believe that fate is choices - it's not chance.
