Irwin Thomas quotes:

If someone had told me when I was a kid I'd get an ovation from Frank Sinatra! One time, I did a song called 'I Am A Singer', but I rewrote the words for Frank. I was in tears and, when he got up, so was he.

My grandfather was from Aberdare. He was a coal miner who emigrated and then continued mining in Pennsylvania.

I particularly like Hershey's chocolate - the kind which has almonds in it.

When people say to me 'what do you think of rap music?' my answer is there's no such thing. There's rap and there's music.

Because I'm shy and a bit quiet, I think people assume I'm an elegant person.
