No Man Can Be A

What Really Got My Goat At Mgm Were Comedians Like The Marx Brothers Who Never Wrote Their Own Jokes.

I Was Mad At The Time, Or I Would Never Have Done The Thing.

The First Thing I Did In The Studio Was To Want To Tear That Camera To Pieces. I Had To Know How That Film Got Into The Cutting Room, What You Did To It In There, How You Projected It, How You Finally Got The Picture Together, How You Made Things Match. The Technical Part Of Pictures Is What Interested Me. Material Was The Last Thing In The World I Thought About. You Only Had To Turn Me Loose On The Set And I`d Have Material In Two Minutes, Because I`d Been Doing It All My Life.

Like Everyone Else, I Like To Be With A Happy Crowd.

I`ve Had Few Dull Moments [in My Life] And Not Too Many Sad And Defeated Ones. In Saying This I Am By No Means Overlooking The Rough And Rocky Years I`ve Lived Through. But I Was Not Brought Up Thinking Life Would Be Easy. I Always Expected To Work Hard For My Money And To Get Nothing I Did Not Earn. And The Bad Years, It Seems To Me, Were So Few That Only A Dyed-in-the-wool Grouch Who Enjoys Feeling Sorry For Himself Would Complain.
