Quotes
"“Fans are people who let an actor know he’s not alone in the way he feels about himself.”
Jack Carson
"“People will always laugh at somebody else’s discomfort. But they only laugh because they have suffered the same indignity themselves or known darn well how it feels. Being a comedian is almost like being a doctor–the more troubles you discover and understand, the more gladness you can bring to an audience.”
"“He’s not exactly a coward, but most of his pluck is in his eyebrows.”
[describing an actor who refused to perform a simple stunt]
"“I was the guy in the movie who never won the girl, but I never complained because I usually lost her to my buddy Dennis Morgan — and he was from Milwaukee, too!”
