Zitat des Tages von Mickey Rooney:
Judy Garland was a different type of entertainer. She was a dancer, a singer, and an incurable romantic.
I was a thirteen-year-old boy for thirty years.
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.
I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.
I just want to make sure that I give the animators everything they need, so they have plenty of choices to match their animation.
I was a gnomish prodigy - half-human, half-goblin, man-child, child-man.
I've been stealing scenes all my life.
Women liked me because I made them laugh.
I'm a ham who wants to be a small part of anything.
A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100,000 short.
Show me a man with a million dollars, and I'll show you a million guys trying to take it away from him.
You always pass failure on your way to success.
Yeah, a few of the films I made were so bad they didn't get released - they escaped.
I keep going because if you stop, you stop. Why retire? Inspire.
This is the kind of world I was born in, one in which I had only one reason for existence: pleasing others.
Love lasts only for months, sometimes only for minutes. But if you like somebody, it's for a lifetime!
Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.
I tried to make up for being 5 ft. 3 in. by affecting a strut and adopting the voice of a much bigger man... dating tall, beautiful women... But nothing I could do, after Ava had left me, would add a single inch to my height.
I'm the only man in the world with a marriage licence made out to whom it may concern.
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.'
When I was nineteen years old, I was the number-one star for two years. When I was forty, nobody wanted me. I couldn't get a job.
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.
I think without a doubt there will never be a voice like Judy Garland.
