Jackie Cooper Quotes

From that, I became very anxious to produce something of my own Picture Quote #1

So I’m in that half-hour business where the most money is, so that eventually I feel like the people that put on the Dupont show, like maybe my artistic effort is going to be a little different Picture Quote #1

A nice, steady job I don’t need that bad. I’m not that satisfied with it Picture Quote #1

So if I keep making mistakes on Broadway or tape or film, producing, directing or acting, I can go along and do it - so long as I’m not investing too much capital in these things Picture Quote #1

There was only so much television you could do Picture Quote #1

A nice, steady job I don’t need that bad. I’m not that satisfied with it Picture Quote #1

They kept me in short pants as long as they could, until they were shaving the hair on my legs because it was beginning to photograph Picture Quote #1

I just knew how to do the one thing I did, and whether I did it well or not depended on who the director was Picture Quote #1

I never say too much about that in public interviews, because it disappoints the public to tell them you’re not that crazy about a property you did that possibly they liked Picture Quote #1

In those days, even as a boy, I watched some people that I knew were living way beyond their means Picture Quote #1

So then you have to say to yourself: Do I want to be rich, or do I want to do good work? Picture Quote #1

They thought in terms of: whatever you had that started you at the box office, this was it Picture Quote #1

They had to start shaving my chin when I was 12 years old because light started to pick it up Picture Quote #1

The studio didn’t ask them to learn their trade, they just worked them, and when that personality or that gimmick or whatever they had ran dry at the box office, they were dropped and out Picture Quote #1

So whatever I might have started to learn at that age was all undone by the next director and next crew in the next cheap picture, because I was allowed to get away with murder Picture Quote #1

So I felt, well, I’ll make the money and, with the money, do what I want to do Picture Quote #1

A lot of people like to run in plays because it’s a nice, steady job Picture Quote #1

Very often on some of this stuff when I’d have to go to work. I’d just give the script a cursory glance. I had no training, and I was a quick study, so nobody knew how involved or not involved I was. But I look at that stuff now and I can see I wasn’t involved, and I wasn’t very good Picture Quote #1

Keep doing what you’ve been doing and you will keep getting what you’ve been getting! Picture Quote #1

Well, they just don’t know anything else except that one form of their business, acting, and they don’t really want to learn any other part of it, or they would. Directing and producing and putting a show together is very creative, for me Picture Quote #1
