A lot of comic actors derive their main force from childish behavior. Most great comics are doing such silly things; you'd say, 'That's what a child would do.

Because we had to convince the scientific members of Transylvania that with the procedure I was using on the creature, Dr. Frankenstein could be taught to be a civilized human being, what I called a man about town. Instead of a monster who's going to kill their children, it was someone who could sing and dance.

I love acting, especially if it's a fantasy of some kind, where it's not just realistic, it's not naturalism.

Dont put the sheep on the table.

When you please your mother by doing something, it gives you confidence that you can please other people.

Lots of things are hard work, but I think writing, for me, after I started acting at 13 years old. I like writing now much more than I do acting only because well, partly because the scripts that are offered are junk.

So shines a good deed... in a weary world.
