Quotes:[in the 1950s] What happened to the laughter? It used to be so much of it., Pioneers are seldom from the nobility. There were no Dukes on the Mayflower., The joke of life is the fall of dignity., We never make fun of religion, politics, race or mothers. A mother never gets hit with a custard pie. Mothers-in-law, yes. But mothers, never!, [on his comedy technique] It's got to move!, I called myself the king of comedy, but I was a harassed monarch. I worked most of the time. It was only in the evenings that I laughed., Anyone who tells you he has invented something new is a fool or a liar or both., [on 'Harry Langdon (I)' (qv)] He was a quaint artist who had no business in the business., It is infinitely easier to do comedies with men than with women. The latter are inclined to giggle and generally destroy the value of what they are attempting to put over by being too obviously frivolous. Men, on the other hand, take their work seriously and give it the attention it really requires., The public is steadily getting harder to please, particularly so far as comedies are concerned. The time is past and almost forgotten when you could be sure of a laugh by merely making one of your actors walk up behind another and suddenly push him down or trip him, or do any one of the scores of stunts the old slap-stick comedian was able to get away with., The more Keystone comedies I make, the more convinced I become that comedy is an art, and a high one at that. If those who are inclined to scoff at me will try their hand at directing just one of those comedies they designate as anything but art, I am pretty certain they will concede me my point.
