Poverty Is A Very Complicated Issue, But

I Love Seeing Somebody Act Real Earnest And Serious, Like Jackie Gleason. He Makes Me Laugh Because He Reflects Back To Me My Own Serious-mindedness And How Ridiculous It All Is. It's Always Easier To See Somebody Else In That Position Than Yourself, And You Laugh. It's Like The Classic Slipping On The Banana Peel, Or Someone Getting Hit By A Pie In The Face. Why Do Those Things Make Us Laugh? Is It From Relief, Like: Thank God It Wasn't Me? Or Is It Something Else: I'm Being Very Serious Now. I'm Pontificating Earnestly And Solemnly About-pow! Pie In The Face! The Bust-up Of Certainty.

If You Change Partners Every Time It Gets Tough Or You Get A Little Dissatisfied, Then I Don't Think You Get The Richness That's Available In A Long-term Relationship.

Generally Speaking I Would Say I Enjoy The Smaller Films More Because There's A Less Sense Of Pressure And Often The Material Is More Unusual.

Everybody Loses A Couple, And You Either Pack It Up And Go Home Or You Keep On Fighting.

Sticking With A Marriage. That's True Grit, Man.
