Dean Martin Quotes

• [in 1964, upon introducing The Rolling Stones on ABC TVs’ “Hollywood Palace”] I’ve been rolled when I was stoned.
• [on Jerry Lewis] At some point, he said to himself, “I’m extraordinary, like Charles Chaplin”. From then on, nobody could tell him anything. He knew it all.
• [on Frank Sinatra] When he dies, they’re giving his zipper to the Smithsonian.
• [on singer Eddie Fisher] The reason I drink is because, when I’m sober, I think I’m Eddie Fisher.

• Someone else, would have laid around, feeling sorry for himself, for a year. But Duke, he just doesn’t know, how to be sick … he’s recuperating the hard way. He’s two loud speaking guys in one. Me, when people see me, they sometimes say, ‘Oh, there goes Perry Como.’ But there’s only one ‘John Wayne’, and nobody makes any mistakes about that. – On The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)
• Motivation is a lotta crap.
• I can’t stand an actor or actress who tells me acting is hard work. It’s easy work. Anyone who says it isn’t never had to stand on his feet all day dealing blackjack.
• I’d hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that’s as good as you’re going to feel all day.
• On his tee-total friend Pat Boone: “I once shook hands with Pat Boone, and my whole right side sobered up!”

• On Phyllis Diller: Phyllis is the women of about whom Picasso once said, “Somebody throw a drop cloth over that.”
• On Joey Bishop: Most people think of Joey Bishop as just a replacement for Johnny Carson. That’s NOT true. We in show business know better: we don’t think of him at ALL.
• I drink because my body craves, needs alcohol. I don’t drink, my body’s a drunk.
• Upon filing for divorce from his second wife: “I know it’s the gentlemanly thing to let the wife file. But, then, everybody knows I’m no gentleman.”

• He usually wore lifts in films and on his television show.

• Martin’s variety show contract was utterly remarkable in how little he was required to participate. Martin felt he performed better cold and took notice of Fred MacMurray’s long-standing 65-day “on the set” contract for producer Don Fedderson for My Three Sons. He succeeded in reaching a new plateau on that one by only be contractually required to appear on the set during the taping. All guest stars, no matter how “big” were required to rehearse with stand-ins (see Greg Garrison). As a result, Martin would often happily flub his lines, to the delight of his audience. More often than not, he’d leave the stage and be seen driving off the studio lot in his sports car before taping concluded.
• Although Jerry Lewis was often made out to be the short guy in their act, he was actually the same height as Martin and used to cut the heel off of his shoe to achieve the effect.
• He was a close friend of Montgomery Clift. Martin was always grateful for the help Clift had given him while filming The Young Lions (1958) – Martin’s first major dramatic role – and he would accompany him to parties after the rest of Hollywood had disowned him due to his increasing addictions to drugs and alcohol.

• In 1962, Martin left Capitol Records and signed with Reprise, the label started and owned by Frank Sinatra. In 1964, he recorded his blockbuster hit, “Everybody Loves Somebody”, which beat the Beatles to become the No. 1 hit in America for one week. It became the theme song for his television variety series, The Dean Martin Show (1965), which ran on NBC for eight years. Martin followed this with The Dean Martin Comedy World (1974), which ran from 1973 to 1974. An indelible part of Martin’s television shtick was his comedic portrayal of life as a lush, which many viewers never realized was just an act.

He was obsessed with golf, and once stated in an interview that he would have preferred to be a professional golfer than an entertainer.
• Although he made out to be a heavy drinker on stage, he mostly used apple juice, but off stage was a Jack Daniels man.

• Despite the legend that he and comedy partner Jerry Lewis always despised each other, the two were actually quite close friends and the tension between the two began in 1956, when “outside people” (as Lewis called them to Peter Bogdanovich) began to “poison” Martin against Lewis. Frank Sinatra eventually staged a public reunion over 20 years after, during a 1976 MDA telethon that Jerry was hosting. However they did reunite twice, briefly, during that 20 year hiatus. In 1958, they appeared together as surprise guests on “The Joey Bishop Show” and in 1960, they appeared together on stage at “The Sands” in Las Vegas where they did a duet of “Come Back To Me”.

• When 20th Century-Fox fired Marilyn Monroe as his co-star in Something’s Got to Give (1962) and then attempted to replace her with Lee Remick, he reminded the studio that he had contractual approval of his co-star, and refused to continue the project without Monroe. His act of loyalty eventually got Marilyn re-hired, but she died of a drug overdose before shooting on this never-finished film could resume. Nine hours of largely unseen footage from the film remained in the vaults at 20th Century Fox until 1999. The film was then edited to include some of the unseen footage,wherever feasible and digitally restored, as a 37 minute film. After 39 years, The film finally premiered on Cable TV’s “American Movie Classics”, on June 1, 2001. It is available on DVD.
