QUOTES BY Jerry Lewis


I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

Every man's dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.

I don't want to be remembered. I want the nice words when I can hear them.

I've had great success being a total idiot.

You can ask me anything you want. That doesn't mean I'm going to answer you.

You want to know why Barbra Streisand is so difficult? Because she's brilliant. She's a brilliant entertainer, she's a brilliant lady, and she's a wonderful human being, and the community doesn't like it.

I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

Nothing can stop anyone who has a love and passion about their work.

I never tell an audience what they can expect. I never have, and I never will.
