One time I loaned him my mink coat when he was going to that big annual Halloween Ball. Mrs. Sugar Ray Robinson loaned her coat to a girl friend of his for the same ball. After the ball was over and they were supposed to be off the street, these two Cinderellas were hanging out in a bar someplace when the cops spotted them. They made a stand and started throwing garbage-can lids at the cops, so I had to go down again and get my mink coat out of police storage.

- antonpetruninhas quoted2 years agoBut unlike her, I got along fine with the cameramen. I dug from the beginning these were the most important cats around. They’re like the boys in the control room when you’re making records. You can turn in the best performance in the world, but if those cats in the control room aren’t with you when they turn those little knobs or twist those little dials, you might just as well have stayed in bed, Jack. So it was with the cameramen. You could be acting up a storm that would blow an Oscar your way, and if those cats on the cameras aren’t with you, you’re nowhere.
