Quote

Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly.

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

I spent money, I slept with women around the league, but I always kept my mind on the game.

When I was in high school, I had a gambling problem.

My luck at the gambling table was varied; sometimes I was fifty to a hundred dollars ahead, and at other times I had to borrow money from my fellow workmen to settle my room rent and pay for my meals.

My father was an insurance man and a small-time gambler. He was a good man, but he had an eye for the racehorses, and I saw how it used to bother my mother. I've never gambled a dime. Never, in all those years in Vegas.

I invested all my money in debt.

For me, since I have a life wish, not a death wish, for me, I was not gambling my life. I was doing something much more beautiful. I was carrying my life across.

Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.

Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
