I think any entertainer just sort of goes along with whatever comes along.

If it's an excellent script, I enjoy it tremendously, the acting part of it.

Sometimes you kind of lose yourself in someone else's personality.

It's really impossible to project ahead even six months in this business.

Bobby Troup and I have been working together for about a year in clubs. We work in the same club.

I prefer the things around town. I'm not one for going out of town too much.

The one appearance that I made for President Kennedy, he, as I understand, had his choice or was asked to make a list of the people he would like to have perform, and I was fortunate enough to be one of them.

In this business it's difficult to make plans. I think the plans follow you and find you.

I do everything all wrong, but I think for me that's the best, because I don't think I have a voice.

We've performed in South America and in Japan.

If it's a terrible script, it's a terrible bore.

I think the first album cover was considered most provocative. I think that contributed a great deal.

I think that's one of the most difficult things in any marriage - in order to build anything, you must be together. You can't build anything over the telephone.

Bobby had faith in my ability as a singer.

Bobby was one of the few people I had ever known who really wanted to do something for me.

I think any entertainer just sort of goes along with whatever comes along.

I think homes should reflect the individuals and their individual taste rather than someone else's.

I'd retired for about six or seven years. Coming back to the business, I found that I was sort of not quite a has-been, and it wasn't a new career, it was just kind of difficult to crack the nut, so to speak.

It's very complicated because I cannot wear the same thing too often.

The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer.

I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.

It is not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.

I work from opposites to opposites, in a way. It's finding one thing and then doing the other from film to film. So maybe after 'I Saw the Devil,' I might do something like 'I Saw the Angel' or perhaps something warm and happy.

A lot of guys go in immediately for status, as opposed to comfort and allowing their home to tell a story about them.

I'll be 65 in September and I work as much as I want to, take cruises with Kay, relax with my family, do everything in moderation, because I want to enjoy my life.

Y2K hype taps our native discomfort with the realities of a dynamic, evolving social order. It elevates personal, local contact over the impersonality of the 'extended order' of trade and technological networks. It suggests that we can wipe the slate clean and start from scratch.

Probably the thing I use most in media is video games, but I have to limit myself. If I wake up super early in the morning, and I'm not tired, I'll play video games until everybody gets up.

Jamaica never gets worse or better, it just finds new ways to stay the same.

I could always improvise. Some of my teachers remember me standing in front of the class with a flower on my head, talking about photosynthesis. I'd stop and say, 'Is this working for any of you?' The kids were like, 'What is he doing?'

Why is it that big companies fail when the technology changes? It happens in every industry, so what's the pattern? What are they all doing wrong?

Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.

It is a shame that when we have a good dream we are asleep at the time.

I must say that I always thought I had a voice, even when I was 4 years old.

What I really want to do is, first of all, get my music out to the world. And then I would really just like to reach other kids all over the world and tell them to believe in themselves and prove to people that you can do anything you want.

My dad was a Marine. He was one of the Montford Point Marines. Those are the equivalent of the Tuskegee Airmen for Marines. He's a tough, tough guy.

The best part is still ahead of me - I haven't experienced my 'good old days' yet.

For the industry we're starting now, for suborbital flight, there is no destination, so the spacecraft you go up in has to be large and spacious. That's why SpaceShipTwo is much bigger than SpaceShipOne: It needs to be because you want those six people to be floating around and enjoying themselves.

Making music is an emotional thing. And when you're on a video shoot with 50 people there, you have to somehow, in a non-emotional way, say what you want and not feel guilty for it. And that takes growing up and that takes... not caring how people perceive you as much. And it just takes experience, I think.

I am one of the crucified dead.

Everybody just uses the one-move rule without realising when it is too late to actually move and cross over and when it is actually being dangerous.

There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.

Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.

I'm part Filipino, part Japanese, part Chinese, part Malaysian, and part Spanish, and all those people, they love their karaoke. So whenever my family got together, we'd all karaoke.

Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack in 'Titanic' was my childhood crush!

I would like Albert Brooks to have received the Oscars for best actor, best director and best screenplay for 'Modern Romance.' I love that movie.
