Garry Marshall quotes about
I didn't think some of the comedy was current enough to be funny today,
I think she's a find, ... She's got a shot. She's pretty, but she's not a sexpot. She can play a regular person in a film. And she's also very bright.
I'd heard that you can make people laugh in opera,
I think on the first day we get there everyone will have a peak at the Indian training session to see who's there.
I've used opera in a lot in my movies,

I think she's a find. She's got a shot. She's pretty, but she's not a sexpot. She can play a regular person in a film. And she's also very bright.

We kept Offenbach's spirit, ... He did what we call shtick, and I kept that.
It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile.
Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.
