My professional life in Hollywood has been filled with joy and laughter.

Even a true artist does not always produce art.

Talent can be developed, gift is God-given. But artists have both.

My Irish derivation has nothing to do with me. Why should it?

Vulgar and obscene, the papers run rumors daily about people in show business, tales of wicked ways and witless affairs.

People see Archie Bunker everywhere. Particularly girls; poor girls, rich girls, all kinds of girls are always coming up to me and telling me that Archie is just like their dad.

I have heard show business characterized as a refuge for childlike persons in flight from all things harsh and real.
