I was so anxious to succeed that I made a practice of appearing on all the disc jockey shows I could, in order to publicize the band.
From Lawrence Welk
I realized some of the pitfalls of being well-known; it was nice if you were successful, but it made it just that much harder to take when you failed.
I played a Spaniard. I looked about as Spanish as any other fair-skinned German.
I knew nothing of the real life of a musician, but I seemed to see myself standing in front of great crowds of people, playing my accordion.
I have never been an innovator, a creative genius.
I have a tremendous desire to learn, and to grow, and to develop whatever I have that will make for any kind of improvement in me.
