I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master.

The only male singer who I've seen besides myself and who's better than me - that is Michael Jackson.

For my money Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business.

I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.

Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I'd feel great, beautiful.

When I first heard [Elvis Presley's] voice I just knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.
