• He tenido pocos momentos aburridos [en mi vida] y no demasiados tristes y derrotados. Con esto no quiero pasar por alto los años duros y difíciles que he vivido. Pero no me educaron pensando que la vida sería fácil. Siempre esperé trabajar duro por mi dinero y no recibir nada que no me hubiera ganado. Y me parece que los años malos fueron tan pocos que sólo un gruñón empedernido que disfruta compadeciéndose de sí mismo podría quejarse.

  Buster Keaton

• Down through the years my face has been called a sour puss, a dead pan, a frozen face, The Great Stone Face, and, believe it or not, "a tragic mask." On the other hand that kindly critic, the late James Agee, described my face as ranking "almost with Lincoln's as an early American archetype, it was haunting, handsome, almost beautiful." I can't imagine what the great rail splitter's reaction would have been to this, though I sure was pleased.

• The funny thing about our act is that dad gets the worst of it, although I'm the one who apparently receives the bruises [...] the secret is in landing limp and breaking the fall with a foot or a hand. It's a knack. I started so young that landing right is second nature with me. Several times I'd have been killed if I hadn't been able to land like a cat. Imitators of our act don't last long, because they can't stand the treatment.

  Buster Keaton

  Dad, Fall, Cat

• The first thing I did in the studio was to want to tear that camera to pieces. I had to know how that film got into the cutting room, what you did to it in there, how you projected it, how you finally got the picture together, how you made things match. The technical part of pictures is what interested me. Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I`d have material in two minutes, because I`d been doing it all my life.
