Tragedy Is A Close-up; Comedy,

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

I Don't Act, Anyway. The Stuff Is All Injected As We Go Along. My Pictures Are Made Without Script Or Written Directions Of Any Kind

The Funny Thing About Our Act Is That Dad Gets The Worst Of It, Although I'm The One Who Apparently Receives The Bruises [...] The Secret Is In Landing Limp And Breaking The Fall With A Foot Or A Hand. It's A Knack. I Started So Young That Landing Right Is Second Nature With Me. Several Times I'd Have Been Killed If I Hadn't Been Able To Land Like A Cat. Imitators Of Our Act Don't Last Long, Because They Can't Stand The Treatment.

Tragedy Is A Close-up; Comedy, A Long Shot.

A Comedian Does Funny Things. A Good Comedian Does Things Funny.
