Leslie Nielsen's quotes

• Doing nothing is very hard to do... you never know when you're finished.
• The reason they call it 'golf' is that all the other four-letter words were used up.
• When people are laughing, they don't beat up on you. You're secure and safe. It's when they stop laughing that it's dangerous.
• [on specializing in serious roles in his early years] Actually, I always wanted to do comedy, but I never made the effort because I was a coward. I didn't have the courage. I was a closet comedian. I was too self-conscious and lacking in confidence.
• [on his camaraderie with Priscilla Presley] I remember when we first met; we were sitting across the soundstage from each other. I glanced over and happened to catch her eye, and made a face and crossed my eyes. And she did it promptly right back to me.
• [on him being called the 'Olivier' of spoofs]: I guess that would make him the Leslie Nielsen of Shakespeare.
