I think popular music in this country is one of the few things in the twentieth century that have made giant strides in reverse..

The things Elvis has done during his career and the things he has contributed and created are really something very important to the music business..

Frank (Frank Sinatra) is a singer who comes along once in a lifetime, but why did he have to come in mine?.

I'm proud to acknowledge my debt to the 'Reverend Satchelmouth' ... He is the beginning and the end of music in America.

Once or twice I`ve been described as a light comedian. I consider this the most accurate description of my abilities I`ve ever seen..

When I'm worried and I can't sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep. And I fall asleep ... counting my blessings..

Christmas has a way of bringing out the best in everyone.

I'll keep singing 'till I die..

Honestly, I think I`ve stretched a talent which is so thin it`s almost transparent over a quite unbelievable term of years..

There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for (Bob) Hope, and there is nothing he wouldn't do for me ... We spend our lives doing nothing for each ….

There's no labor a man can do that's undignified-if he does it right..

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'..

I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me..

Everyone knows I'm just a big, good-natured slob..

That was a great game of golf, fellers..

Oh, listen a lot and talk less. You can't learn anything when you're talking..

I don`t sing anywhere as good as I used to, and I feel sincerely that it`s getting worse..

You'll never be a wonderful woman or even a wonderful human being until you learn to have some regard for human frailty..

My golf is woeful, but I will never surrender.

Let's Face it, - Sinatra is a king. He's a very sharp operator, a keen record chief, and has a keen appreciation of what the public wants..

He never contributed a damn thing to music. (on Elvis Presley).
