Happy Birthday Mickey Rooney!

I'm the only man in the world with a marriage licence made out to whom it may concern.

Selten so gut gegessen wie eben in der Austrian-Airlines-Maschine.

To those seniors, and especially elderly veterans like myself, I want to tell you this: You are not alone, and you having nothing to be ashamed of. If elder abuse happened to me, it can happen to anyone. I want you to know that you deserve better.

Sometimes the transition from being in control of your life to having absolutely no control is swift, but other times it is so gradual that you wonder exactly when it truly began.

Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.

You always pass failure on your way to success.

If you listen, you'll learn. If you talk over each other, you don't accomplish anything.

I keep going because if you stop, you stop. Why retire? Inspire.

A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100,000 short.

I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.

I don't regret anything I've ever done. I only wish I could have done more.

Everything is about looking for happiness and God. That was a sentiment shared by my dear friend Ronald Reagan.

Joe Louis was one of my closest friends.... I'm a great boxing fan. I used to go to the American Legion Stadium in Hollywood, every Friday night for 15 years. Down the aisle would come Lupe Velez, Johnny Weismuller, Mae West. All at ringside.

You've got to recognize, there will never be another you. It has nothing to do with ego; it happens to be the truth. There will never be another person the same. There'll never be another you.

I was a thirteen-year-old boy for thirty years.

Everyone who worked on 'The Fox and the Hound' is important. We're all lucky to be in a business that we love.

God bless the universe, God bless Japanese, Chinese, Indians, all of them, and let's have peace.

All the muddy waters of my life cleared up when I gave myself to Christ.

I was born in Brooklyn, delivered by a Chinese doctor on a table in a boarding house on Sept. 23, 1920.

I've been stealing scenes all my life.

Yeah, a few of the films I made were so bad they didn't get released - they escaped.

Love lasts only for months, sometimes only for minutes. But if you like somebody, it's for a lifetime!

I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter. I tried to make up for being short by affecting a strut, by adopting the voice of a much bigger man, by spending more money than I made, by tipping double or triple at bars and restaurants, by dating tall, beautiful women.

I came from a poor family. My father was from Glasgow, Scotland; my mother's brothers were brakemen on the railroad. We didn't have anything but mush for breakfast.

I made all these great musicals with Judy Garland. It was all about me going into a barn and saying: 'Let's put on a show.' That's what me and Judy did.

If Barbra Steisand wants to make a picture called 'My Pink Fingernail,' the studios will go, 'Gee, Barbra, what a wonderful idea! Money is no object! Take two years in preproduction and write the music, and you'll direct.'
