  • Quotes
    Nobody ever told me anything about sex. I was a nice Jewish boy so I knew you shouldn't do it, whatever it was, to nice girls. All my life I have been attracted to nice girls - the kind you aren't supposed to do it to. And they, too, have been brought up, at least in my generation, that they shouldn't do it either. How it gets done between nice people is a mystery to me. What I think happens is, nice people do it, but their hearts aren't in it.
  • Trademarks
      Gravelly, soft singing voice
