A Comedian Is Not A Person Who

In Timing A Film, We Used To Assume That Sneaks Move Slowly. This Was Great For Animators-thirty-six To Forty-eight Drawings For A Single Step-but It Was Sheer Hell For The Pace Of The Picture. So The Rapid Tiptoe Was Invented.

Anyone Can Say 'no'. It Is The First Word A Child Learns And Often The First Word He Speaks. It Is A Cheap Word Because It Requires No Explanation, And Many Men And Women Have Acquired A Reputation For Intelligence Who Know Only This Word And Have Used It In Place Of Thought On Every Occasion.

If You Make A Fool Of Yourself In Front Of A Cat, He Will Sneer At You, If You Are Sober; He Will Leave The Room If You Are Drunk. If You Make A Fool Of Yourself In Front A Dog, He Will Make A Fool Of Himself, Too.

Comedy Is Unusual People In Real Situations; Farce Is Real People In Unusual Situations.

Once You Have Heard A Strange Audience Burst Into Laughter At A Film You Directed, You Realize What The Word Joy Is All About.
