Quotable Quotes:

"Move the litterbox over Annie; Whiskers missed again."

"Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood."

"We're rounding 'em up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. And they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized."

"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape."

"Why should I indulge myself and do a David Lean-ish kind of film? I could do my little Jewish Brief Encounter (1945) and disguise it - shorten the noses. But it wouldn't be as much fun as delivering my dish of insanity." (IMDB)

"No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded."
