More From Jerry Lewis
- "I’ve had the greatest respect for my work in this country by Americans. Critics have no brains."
- "People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius."
- "I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can’t get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That’s in friendship, that’s a deal, that’s a commitment. Don’t give me paper – I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that’s for life."
