“I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man.”

—  Frank Sinatra

Playboy interview (1963)
Context: I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday — cash me out.

What's wrong with me?

Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!”

“This is a weird feeling in my life I have to deal with, not being a violent man anymore when my whole life's reputation was built on being extremely violent. I just don't know how to deal with that right now. I don't even go to strip clubs no more. I don't know who I am sometimes, but I am not the guy I used to be. I'm not an angel or anything. I'm still lascivious, periodically. I'm just looking for some balance in my life.”

I'm moldy thru and thru

You would not think it true

I'm moldy til my toe
I will not dance I shyballs
I'm such a humble Joe.”
