I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.

You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do; before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.

I want to settle down this last time. I say last, because I don't think I'm in any condition to live a long time from now. The bell's gonna ring pretty soon.

I always say, 'If you can't give a reason for the banana peel being in the alley, then don't have the comic slide over it.' Do you understand what I mean? First explain how the banana peel got there quickly. And then there's a reason for all the comedy.

I tell the truth, and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. My dad used to say to me, 'If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.'

Drama drama drama. The public wants it, so let them get the whole ugly mess. Why not?

Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
