I Am A Thing Of Beauty.

Take A Deep Breath, Pick Yourself Up, Dust Yourself Off, And Start All Over Again.

I Believe That God Knows What Each Of Us Wants And Needs. It's Not Necessary For Us To Make It To Church On Sunday To Reach Him. You Can Find Him Anyplace.

The Thing That Influenced Me Most Was The Way Tommy Played His Trombone. It Was My Idea To Make My Voice Work In The Same Way As A Trombone Or Violin-not Sounding Like Them, But "playing" The Voice Like Those Instrumentalists.

I Lived In A Plenty Tough Neighborhood. When Somebody Called Me A 'dirty Little Guinea', There Was Only One Thing To Do-break His Head. When I Got Older, I Realized That You Shouldn't Do It That Way. I Realized That You've Got To Do It Through Education. Children Are Not To Blame. It Is The Parents. How Can A Child Know Whether His Playmate Is An Italian, A Jew Or Irish, Unless The Parents Have Discussed It In The Privacy Of Their Homes.

I Would Like To Be Remembered As A Man Who Brought An Innovation To Popular Singing.
