“There is no real idol or anyone in the public eye now that I know of. I've always been satisfied with women that I've known. I've been really spoiled. You talk about the luck factor, I've been at the right place at the right time, because as it turns out, the women I'm attracted to are attracted to me.”
“If anything, we are enslaved more as human beings now than at any time, probably, in man's history. But it is so sugarcoated, it's so slick, it's so polished.”
“Hitler's greatest mistake was in, not his bringing together some of the things he tried to bring together, but by of course employing the racist concepts that he did, he lost everything. I mean, who knows but he would have won the war if he kept the people around that he considered inferior or his adjutants considered inferior.”

“The carnival was the predecessor to the burlesque world-this all tied together, the psychic, the hypnotic... That gave me a good foundation for playing the girlie shows, my opportunity to play for female dancers. I also played midway music and worked the sex shows.”
“Hopefully by bringing back burlesque, you'll bring back the kind of body that's round on top and round on bottom. I love cellulite and stretch marks!”
