Another great, and I use that word very carefully, not the way Milton — Stan Laurel

"If anyone at my funeral has a long face, Ill never speak to him again"

"We had different hobbies. He likes horses and golf. You know my hobby—and I married them all."

"So terribly funny. He can still make me laugh like crazy after all these years."

"A real craftsman. He knows what consistent comedy characterization is. The only criticism I have is that once in a while he holds after his laughs too long. He milks those holds on occasion and he shouldnt."

"If they ever do a film of my life—and I hope they wont—Id like Dick to play me. Hes one of the very, very few comedians around who knows how to use his body for real.comedy."

"Its a strange thing, but we really only got to know each other in the last years of his life. When we were making pictures together, we never saw each other off the set. As soon as the picture was finished, hed go his way and Id go mine. We both had our own circle of friends and our own interests. [...] After we were out of pictures, we did a lot of touring in Europe together and thats when we got to know each other intimately. You couldnt help it—you had to be together much of the time at theatres, in hotels, at press parties and on trains."
