success real congratulations
Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man.

After I decided to become a Jew, only then did I learn that the Jews don't have all the money. When I found out Rockefeller and Ford were goyim, I almost resigned.

Being a star has made it possible for me to get insulted in places where the average Negro could never hope to get insulted.

Alcohol gives you infinite patience for stupidity.

Sinatra is the essence of vocal style. This man has an innate quality of knowing what is good musically. You can sum that up best by saying that he has musical integrity. Even when he does a bad song, there's a good quality in the presentation.

If you want to be the best, baby, you've got to work harder than anybody else.

If you want to get known as a singer you hire five sexy chicks and let them fight over you onstage and for the cameras. That's publicity, man.

My handicap? Man, I am a one-eyed, black Jew! That's my handicap!

You have to be able to look back at your life and say, "Yeah, that was fun."

My mother was born in San Juan. So I'm Puerto Rican, Jewish, colored and married to a white woman. When I move into a neighborhood, people start running four ways at the same time.
