I've been divorced once and separated from my second wife. I have two boys of my own. I spent almost two years in the army. It's time Judge Hardy went out and bought me a double-breasted suit.
Mickey Rooney
Life is an infiltration course. We all try and get through it. We all try and get through it unscathed - maybe not hurt, not bruised. No bones broken, maybe a few hearts here and there.
Mickey Rooney

Nowadays, it is fashionable for agents to be out. When you call them, they're always out. It's in, you see, to be out. If they're in, they're out. So, they're always out. That way, they'll be in.
Mickey Rooney
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.
