I remember seeing Tony Bennett on television. He was the only guy in the orchestra who was wearing a white tux, and I thought, 'That would be good. To be the only man on stage in a white jacket.'

It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.

I'm a guy who has more slapstick than Joe Cool moments in his day, so I'm not taking myself so seriously.

Seeing Tony do it last year at Indy, I was envious. I said, 'I want to do that at Vegas.' It's a big race for me and my little brother, of course. I watched the track get built from the ground up.

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well.

I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do.
