I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.

You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth.

There's no room in my life for feeling sorry for myself.

One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.

Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.

I believe that fate is choices - it's not chance.

If it were not for the bad things that've happened to me, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

But one man never laughed. He was a giant among men. He was Bobby Darin and he was my friend.

You can take of a man's money, but when it's all said and done, you've only taken his money.

Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before.

I dont really believe in regrets.

Surround yourself with people who put a smile on your face and make you laugh.

With a single leap, you can change your entire life.

Do You want to be a Starfish?

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

I wish my life were a movie and I could take it into the editing room and totally cut this part out. And some other parts. Some other parts definitely need to be cut.

My dad was the town drunk. Most of the time that's not so bad; but New York City?

Happiness lies only in that which excites, and the only thing that excites is crime.

The unconscious is selective, when it learns what to listen for.

When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.

It can be frightening to spend 5 weeks alone in a cabin in the wilderness. I was able to collect my thoughts and worked a lot - because I couldn't do anything else.
