After the events of 9-11, the one group of people who were forgotten were our military, the Pentagon, the people who carry the message for us.
But one man never laughed. He was a giant among men. He was Bobby Darin and he was my friend.
I believe that fate is choices - it's not chance.
I don't really believe in regrets.
I love taking chances.
I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.
I was a boy soprano-but back then all it brought me were attacks of vitriolic humor. I was the joke of the industry.
I've always had great faith in people.
I've always had great faith in the Man Upstairs.
If it were not for the bad things that've happened to me, I wouldn't be the person I am today.
Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before.
Maybe that goes along with my personality - it's white or black, never gray.
One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.
Somebody doesn't just take your life and pre-ordain it, and no matter what you do, that's what's gonna happen.

There's no room in my life for feeling sorry for myself.
When I first met Elvis, we had so much in common and became fast friends.
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.
You can take of a man's money, but when it's all said and done, you've only taken his money. When you take of a man's time, you've taken a part of his life. I'd like to thank you for giving me a part of your life tonight.
You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth.
