My Father Was Totally Irish, And So

Though I Soon Became Typecast In Hollywood As A Gangster And Hoodlum, I Was Originally A Dancer, An Irish Hoofer, Trained In Vaudeville Tap Dance. I Always Leapt At The Opportunity To Dance In Films Later On.

Once A Song And Dance Man, Always A Song And Dance Man. Those Few Words Tell As Much About Me Professionally As There Is To Tell.

Find Your Mark, Look The Other Fellow In The Eye, And Tell The Truth.

My Childhood Was Surrounded By Trouble, Illness, And My Dad's Alcoholism, But As I Said, We Just Didn't Have The Time To Be Impressed By All Those Misfortunes. I Have An Idea That The Irish Possess A Built-in Don't-give-a-damn That Helps Them Through All The Stress.

I`m Sick Of Carrying Guns And Beating Up Women.
