"The movies are the only business where..." - Quote by Will Rogers

“The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.”

“There isn't any finer folks living than a Republican that votes the Democratic ticket.”

“One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.”

“As the character changes in the movie, it rubs off on the viewer, so the viewer also goes through that change.”

“I'm not a chick-flick enthusiast.”

“One of my movies was called 'True Lies.' It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.”

“I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.”

“Men of wit, learning and virtue might strike out every offensive or unbecoming passage from plays.”

“You have but little more to do than throw up your cap for entertainment these American days.... Farmers' sons will stare by the hour to see a juggler draw ribbons from his throat, though he tells them it is all deception. Surely, men love darkness rather than light.”
