Looking back on more than sixty years in show business: "I was about as discreet as a ... bull taking a p--- in your living room." "I think I really wanted to write my biography more to be able to mention that Jack Kennedy and I were friends than anything else." "Going unnoticed has never been my strong suit." "Other comedy teams never generated anything like the hysteria that Dean [Martin] and I did, and that was because we had that X factor--the powerful feeling between us. And it really was an X factor, a kind of mystery." "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again!"
