The greatest comedies that were made by anybody were made in two reels; I don't care who it was.

'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest comedies ever made.

In those days, there was one secret to making good comedy. If it made the audience laugh, it was a good comedy.

You can't make people laugh for more than half an hour and be consistent.

Harold Lloyd was not a comedian. But he was the finest actor to play a comedian that I ever saw.

The important thing, once you get 'em laughing, is to keep 'em laughing until you're through. With a 90-minute feature, you've got to stop the laughter and then pick it up again, which is tough.
