Joe Louis was one of my first heroes.
Robert Goulet
I can tell jokes. I can talk to the audience. I can relax. I can change my songs whenever I want. I can change the tempos. I can change the mood, because I'm in charge.
I only eat one meal a day. Lunch, not dinner.
I used to be afraid of looking at the audience.
But I don't work out. I pay people to do that for me.
You play your character and it isn't right to step out of it. You have to stay in that character.
Ali and I have become friends over the years. I was on a plane with him one time when he was the champion.
Ali's daughter is fighting and Joe Frazier's daughter is fighting as well.
And of course coming from Massachusetts, Rocky Marciano was my favorite.
Hey, I've been doing what I do for a long time, my friend.
I don't watch a lot of featherweight fights yet some of those fights are the best fights ever.
I like being on this stage because it keeps me thinking.
I think that people who have Vegas throat are people who sing from their throats only.
I used to have trouble in front of an audience. I felt uncomfortable.
I wanted to be a plumber.
I was born in Massachusetts and lived there until I was thirteen years old.
I'm a performer. We don't retire.
I've been a boxing fan ever since I was a kid.
If people like what I do, fine. If they don't, fine.
It's obvious that they're going to want Ali's daughter and Frazier's daughter to fight it out.
Rocky Marciano had such guts and heart. He was something special.
The only good thing about going to the fights is you can go into the green room and you can see some of your old friends that you haven't seen in a long time.
There's nobody in show business that I dislike so I wouldn't want to get in there to hurt anybody.
When I sing full-on I use my whole body. I open my throat and let it fly out.
When you sing a song the way I sing it, you have to use your whole body. It's almost like working out.
Why stop now when I'm just getting the hang of it?
You have to remember, I didn't want this life.
You open the show with a bang, then don't come back on for 45 minutes.
