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

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.

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

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'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.

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

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.

To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt.

I'm happy, and I think being happy keeps you looking young.

I live every day to its fullest extent and I don't sweat the small stuff.

I love life and nothing intimidates me anymore.
