Lemmon, Simon and Matthau
*I have been fortunate to be able to have a career playing comedy and drama. And it's awfully hard - it's like apples and pears to compare the two.
-Jack Lemmon
*Everyone thinks they can write a play; you just write down what happened to you.
But the art of it is drawing from all the moments of your life.
-Neil Simon
*Every actor looks all his life for a part that will combine his talents with his
personality... 'The Odd Couple' was mine. That was the plutonium I needed.
It all started happening after that.
-Walter Matthau
