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.

If one more person tells me this is just like old times, I swear I'll jump out the window.

I was mad at the time, or I would never have done the thing.

And if there is sweeter music this side of heaven I haven't heard it.

A comedian does funny things. A good comedian does things funny.

They say pantomime's a lost art. It's never been a lost art and never will be, because it's too natural to do.

I don't feel qualified to talk about my work.
