Dean Martin Biography

On booze:

“If you drink, don’t drive. Don’t even putt.”

“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. They wake up in the morning, and that’s the best they’re going to feel all day.”

“I’d hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning, and knowing that’s as good as you’re going to feel all day.”

“You’re not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.”

“I once shook hands with Pat Boone, and my whole right side sobered up.”


On family:

“I’ve got seven kids. The three words you hear most often around my house are: “Hello”, “Goodbye” and “I’m pregnant.”


Others:

“When Jerry Lewis and I were big, we used to go to parties, and everybody thought I was big-headed and stuck up, and I wasn’t, it was because I didn’t know how to speak good English, so I used to keep my mouth shut.”

“Milton Berle is an inspiration to every young person that want to get into show business. Hard work, perseverance, discipline - all the things you need when you have no talent.”
