Harold Lloyd's quotes
- Comedy comes from inside. It comes from your face. It comes from your body.
- I do not believe the public will want spoken comedy. Motion pictures and the spoken arts are two distinct arts.
- [when asked why he abandoned his Lonesome Luke character and that type of character] Charlie [Charles Chaplin] had the market cornered on that. He had it down to a science.
- [in 1970] My humor was never cruel or cynical. I just took life and poked fun at it. We made it so it could be understood the world over, without language barriers. We seem to have conquered the time barrier, too.
- [on his horn-rimmed glasses] At a cost of 75 cents they provide a trademark recognized instantly wherever pictures are shown.
- [on Bebe Daniels] She's a wonderful individual and I can understand why she's tremendously revered in Great Britain. She's very warm-hearted and she has a habit of giving -- never lost it!
- [In comedy] one situation leads to another - one 'gag' builds up its successor.We seek always to build up every situation to the 'topping-off' point. The top-off gag of any situation must always must have a greater force than any other in the sequence.
- The man who tries to be funny is lost. To lose one's naturalness is always to lose the sympathy of your audience.
- The more trouble you get a man into, the more comedy you get out of him.
- [To Buster Keaton on his move to MGM in 1928] They're not your crowd; you'll lose.
