There's no room in my life for feeling sorry for myself.
From Wayne Newton
Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.
You can take of a man's money, but when it's all said and done, you've only taken his money.
When you take of a man's time, you've taken a part of his life.
One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.
But one man never laughed. He was a giant among men. He was Bobby Darin and he was my friend.
When I come offstage, if I've done a bad show or had a bad night, the fact that everybody was standing at the end or three or four times during the show means nothing to me. I know I could have done a better show.
There are people who are surprised at my politics and being a conservative and the rest of it. But the truth of the matter is, to my knowledge, I have never been overlooked or turned down for anything that I wanted to do that was being offered to me.
I have been involved with the USO really my entire life. The first show I did for the USO, I was nine years old.
When you think about those of us that live the life that we want to live, we can thank absolutely and completely our men and women in uniform. Because if it were not for them, we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms that we have.
