More quotes by 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
I wasn't really that good at being a musician. And then I tried being a standup. I was an actor. I was a photographer. I tried everything. Nothing was particularly working for me, but then, as a musician, I wrote jokes for comics. And they started to buy my jokes, and that's where I thought maybe that might work.
Garry Marshall
I'm a little older and I'm gonna do a bunch more movies and then they're gonna put me in a home for old directors.
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
We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.
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
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 think a lot of creative people have no sense of numbers and economics.
Garry Marshall
I like to get up in the morning and see people.
Garry Marshall
Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.
Garry Marshall
[Beaches] is a pretty picture and I just liked having somebody like Bette [Mudler] who can be flying in the big comedy scenes and have her do more like a realistic part.
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
I think men should go see Beaches too. I think they'll understand women better.
Garry Marshall
I started as a journalist actually. I graduated from Northwestern Medill School of Journalism and with my degree discovered, once out in the real world, I wasn't very good at it.
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.
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
You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this.
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
There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
