He wanted me to learn to stand on my own feet, and to make it impossible for me to thank him.

We met, 'twas in a crowd, and I thought he would shun me.

Cary Grant and I were doing a play in New York. He had a crush on me. Whenever we went to a party, he would always sit on the floor beside me. I thought that was kind of beautiful, like that's where he wanted to be.

'Stand By You' is about sticking by the person you love not only when things are easy, but being there for them during trials and letting them know they aren't alone.

I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.

I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.

Sonny Liston stood up to me and actually made me give ground. No one has ever done that to me before or since.

Well, I met Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips. He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filterless cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps.

Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

I don't drink any more than the man next to me, and the man next to me is Dean Martin.
