Stan Laurel

“Personally, I think the silent films were more effective for L&H, but the sound was of great value in enhancing the effects - dialog eliminated a lot of action & sight gags - I always feel that 'action' speaks louder than words.”

“Humor is the truth; wit is an exaggeration of the truth.”

“What business do we have telling people who to vote for? They probably know more about it than we do.”

“It's the one with that panel of ultra-chichi folks. The one called 'What's My Line?' It sends me straight up the wall. I call it 'The Snob Family.'”

“My only opinion on the L&H 'home movie' situation - I regret we have no financial interest in them.”
