Mickey Rooney's quotes

[at 58 years old] I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in.
[asked if he would marry all of his eight wives again] Absolutely. I loved every one of them.
My partners weren't what we call in horse racing parlance "routers". They were sprinters; they went out of the gate, but then they stopped. They couldn't go the distance.
People say, "How can you be married eight times?" But I played the hand dealt me the way I was supposed to. I was friendly with most of my ex-wives. My God, there's a Mickey Rooney's Former Wives Marching Band!
The audience and I are friends. They allowed me to grow up with them. I've let them down several times. They've let me down several times. But we're all family.
Love wears off too quickly.
I don't regret anything I've ever done. I only wish I could have done more.
I was a 14-year-old boy for 30 years.
[upon winning his lifetime achievement Oscar, 1983] Tonight, I could even kiss Louis B. Mayer!.
I didn't ask to be short. I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter.
[Bill Clinton] was a Rhodes Scholar. Do you know who the scholars were? Marxists!
I just want to be a professional. I couldn't live without acting.
There may be a little snow on the mountain, but there's a lot of fire in the furnace.
All the muddy waters of my life cleared up when I gave myself to Christ.
I've been through four publics. I've been coming back like a rubber ball for years.
[on his feud with Ernest Borgnine] All the Oscars in the world can't buy him dignity, class and talent. I don't know why he is famous and why he is a star. Talk about a lucky jerk.
[in 2007] I think the family pictures are what people really want to see--and musicals, of course.
I don't get caught between lesbians and gays. If you can't say something nice about someone, just shut your mouth.
I never knew anything about anyone being gay in Hollywood when I was working in the studios. Did you know that? They weren't in closets, they were in safes.
I lost $2 at Santa Anita and I've spent $3 million trying to get it back.
Sure, I love the chicks. I love 'em all. But when you're nuts about too many, how can a guy settle down to one?
Hollywood has unfortunately become a memory. It's nothing but a sign on the side of a hill.
When I was 19 years old I was the #1 star for two years. When I was 40, nobody wanted me. I couldn't get a job.
When "Sugar Babies" opened, I was the most famous has-been in show business.
[In his autobiography] Had I been brighter, had the ladies been gentler, had the scotch been weaker, had the gods been kinder, this could have been a one-sentence story: Once upon a time, Mickey Rooney lived happily ever after.
[In a 1970 David Frost interview] I have nine kids, seven wives, and the American Bar Association to support. I'm a very quiet person, a fellow who believes in the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and bacon, lettuce and tomato with a lot of mayonnaise.
