Perry Como Quotes


Perry Como

On his professional life versus his home life: "I`d perform with the world`s greatest artists (on TV), and then come home to the world`s greatest family."

I`ve done nothing that I can call exciting. I was a barber. Since then I`ve been a singer. That`s it.

Perry Como said of his career: "For the amount of talent I had (and I couldn`t dance, act, or tell a joke) I enjoyed a tremendous career."

The audience knows I`m not going to do anything after all these years to upset them.

I don`t work at home at all. Once you know a song too well, you start to fool around with it. At the session, when the band`s working on the arrangement, I learn the tune right there.
