I didn't have any inhibitions. I saw Elvis and Gene Vincent, and I thought, 'Well, I can do this.' And I liked doing it. It's a real buzz, even in front of 20 people, to make a complete fool of yourself. But people seemed to like it. And the thing is, if people started throwing tomatoes at me, I wouldn't have gone on with it. But they all liked it, and it always seemed to be a success, and people were shocked. I could see it in their faces.

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

My success is due more to my ability to work continuously on one thing without stopping than to any other single quality.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see.

Success is the product of the severest kind of mental and physical application.
