- I say, when you tell the truth, you never offend nobody, particularly if you do it with dignity.
- One of my sisters wanted to be an opera singer. So, we spent a few dollars to try to train her, because Italian people would like to have an opera singer in the family. But she's got trouble coughing, let alone singing. One day, she was in the shower singing "Madame Butterfly". Three days later the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor.
- One time I visited my mother and found St. Anthony's statue upside down. I say, "Mama, why's St. Anthony upside down?" '[She said] "He don't answer my novena, he stays that way!"
- When I was a boy, we had 45 statues [of saints] in my house. Ever have 90 eyes looking at you every time you have to go to the bathroom?
- [on Joe DiMaggio] Joe DiMaggio never spent a dime, never picked up a check, but he was Joe DiMaggio. He thought he walked on water. When I became a little bit of a name, he would walk in and he would sit at my table and I would have to pay for his dinner. He never spent for nothing.
