I've had great success being a total idiot.

I've had the greatest respect for my work in this country by Americans. Critics have no brains.

Adrenaline is wonderful. It covers pain. It covers dementia. It covers everything.

Every man's dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.

Postwar America was a very buttoned-up nation. Radio shows were run by censors, Presidents wore hats, ladies wore girdles. We came straight out of the blue - nobody was expecting anything like Martin and Lewis. A sexy guy and a monkey is how some people saw us.

People think I'm against critics because they are negative to my work. That's not what bothers me. What bothers me is they didn't see the work. I have seen critics print stuff about stuff I cut out of the film before we ran it. So don't tell me about critics.

The doc told me I had a dual personality. Then he lays an 82 dollar bill on me, so I give him 41 bucks and say, 'Get the other 41 bucks from the other guy.'
