#Quote
1I will always be a gypsy, and if a woman is going to love me, she will have to love the gypsy spirit in me. This is the thing in the past most women have not understood. They want to embrace the physical relationship and settle down. That means death to me. I gotta fly.
2I'm locked in as one of the showbiz superstars. Like Dr. Kildare is forever. Telly Savalas is forever.
3There are only a few who will be the Fords, the Edisons, the Carnegies, and I think I'm in that number.
4I'm like Gandhi in a sense. I don't mind walking with the people. I will take off my suits and ties and get down there and work.
5I have been recommending Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich to almost everybody I have met since I first read it in 1967. It is the master key to anyone who wants to succeed.
6I love encouraging people to read great books. You can travel the world and the universe if you just go to your local library and choose a book to read. I tell my children you must read to lead.
7Some people never live a day in a lifetime. I live a lifetime in a day.
8Once you get to the mountain top that's where you really begin to climb.
9Good life is like good music. There are rests and pauses and melody and rhythm and lyric and reason and rhyme and love that last for all time. Music and all that it possesses is a multi-dimensional life itself. Not just a trip, but a round trip.
10Look deep into the mirror of your soul and discover a wonderful truth, the greatest book you'll ever know is written and lived by you.
11"I've become greened, like money. I respect the position. I'm enthusiastic, as opposed to excited. Enthusiasm comes from the Greek entheos, which means "God-inspired"...I recommend fame, but with fortune. Otherwise, it's a bitch." (Playboy 1985)
