    I had an opportunity to be in Frank's [Sinatra] circle, but I couldn't take advantage of it because I couldn't get over how awed I was by him. It was so uncomfortable for me because he meant so much to me, but I just couldn't be myself, so I fled rather than having those great nights hanging out.

    I’m not religious, but I am spiritual. I have my own relationship with a being that I consider to be everywhere. All and everything. I don’t need a church or a synagogue or a mosque. I don’t need to kneel down, I don’t need to stand up, I don’t need to be hanging from a thread.
