John Garfield

I always wanted to be in the limelight, and I found I could get it by being on the stage. That was the beginning of everything for me.

There was a revolution going on at home. Why didn't I earn some money? Why didn't I do something practical, like chicken farming?

I lived in a bad neighborhood. I knew so many things a boy shouldn't know. I did so many things a boy shouldn't do.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
