More quotes by Garry Marshall
There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
Garry Marshall
I'm basically a writer, it's who I am. I direct and I like theatre directing very much. But I've done 17 movies, they don't say 'Let's get Garry, he'll make a helicopter shot,' they say 'Get Garry, he'll fix the script.'
Garry Marshall
You can't have an actor where the audience says, aw, that poor, sweet guy. You got to get somebody who's, like, nondescript in a way or just somebody that looks a little like they should get it. So this is all I learned actually learn from Lucy [Ball].
Garry Marshall
Women are pretty good. Women usually fight about some stupid guy and then when they figure out it's just a stupid guy they make up and move on.
Garry Marshall
I played a lot of ball and got hurt, stitches and this and that. That, sometimes they said, built character. I don't think it built anything.
Garry Marshall
That's why my ires always come comedic in a way because - can I just say something? See, I sound like such a smooth talker.
Garry Marshall
I was crying when I was editing [Beacher] but I stopped all the screenings years ago because I had a headache but then I had seen it again... Well I always cry at the same place, when they play that song Wind Beneath My Wings. It gets you.
Garry Marshall
Editing is the only process. The shooting is the pleasant work. The editing makes the movie, so I spend all my life in editing
Garry Marshall
For Joey Bishop, always was kind of the lost soul, so I did a traffic joke.
Garry Marshall
I directed fourteen movies. Every movie had Hector Elizondo. He didn't like Beaches. I don't know, it was originally not a happy movie at all, it was much sadder than that. And they brought me in to kind of make it a little more 'warm', I guess you might call it. The original ending was a whole messy thing.
Garry Marshall
In the middle of Beaches there's a scene from the Laverne & Shirley TV show so they see some history of my work in each film.
Garry Marshall
I dont sit well. I like to move around as I talk.
Garry Marshall
I always remember writing a page of jokes for a comedian and handing it to him backstage at a club and he read it and then took his cigarette lighter and lit the page on...
Garry Marshall
If you’ve got the comedy eye, you can look at any situation and see the humor in it while others don’t.
Garry Marshall
One of my thrills of the business is to find young people, there's a window. I like young people who are in that brief window between on their-way-up and rehab. In that window I can make stars. It's not really true but it's not so far off.
Garry Marshall
I like to get up in the morning and see people.
Garry Marshall
I really wasn't too interested in writing Father Knows Best and Ozzie And Harriet. I thought they were pleasant enough, but it wasn't really what I wanted to do.
Garry Marshall
He convinced me - Fred Freeman - to go to Hollywood and we went to Hollywood to write sitcoms. Joey Bishop actually paid my way to Hollywood.
Garry Marshall
I think a lot of creative people have no sense of numbers and economics.
Garry Marshall
I'm very excited about is that my son Scott is a director and he just finished his first picture. It's called Lucky 13, it's a low budget picture, it stars Jeremy Dillon, Daryl Hannah and Jami Gertz.
