Johnny Carson was a mean-spirited human being. And there are people that he has hurt that people will never know about. And for some reason, at some point, he decided to turn that kind of negative attention toward me. And I refused to have it.

I played Vegas at the age of 16 years old, in 1959.

One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.

You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth.
