Emmanuel Lewis Quotes
- [on Alex Karras]: Alex was a really cool guy, he was the ‘gentle giant,’ with me. He was very intimidating because he was the lineman for the Detroit Lions. I wasn’t even born in the era that he actually played football. Everybody that was older knew how [much] of a scary guy he could be, but when dealing with him on the set he was very protective of me. We would always have lunch together, on more occasions than not, and we would sit at the dining room table on the set, we would go to one of our rooms and we would have our own meals and we would run lines and do stuff together.
- [on his off- and off-screen chemistry with Alex Karras, who played George Papadapolis]: He was a giant of a man with a big heart, a great sense of humor, and very grounded outlook on life. He might have towered over you… but he had a knack of being able get down to your level without being small about it.
- [on the death of Alex Karras]: My heartfelt condolences goes out to Susan, Katie, George, Renny, Peter and the entire Karras & Clark family. My prayers are forever with you guys. I had a very heavy heart this morning and I did not know why. I understand now. Rest in Peace, my friend.
- I was a workaholic basically at the time, and loved every single second of it.
- When asked who is the president of his corporation: “Mom. But as for treasurer, I don’t know. But *I’m* the owner.”
- I want to produce, direct, write. Learning as I go. Learn this area, do that. Learn that area, do that. And I plan to go to college and study business. Understanding the business is a *must*. So you can be on top of things all the time. You have to think one step, two steps, three steps ahead. You can’t just sit still.
- [on how he was 16 and still playing a child in the series, ‘Webster’]: “There was no reason for me to get frustrated, because I was an actor, and that’s what my job said: actor. So you don’t play yourself. You’re playing a character.”
- [on Michael Jackson]: He said I was his form of inspiration. He loved our humor and just hanging out and having fun, with not just me, but my whole family.
- I could not go anywhere. I would get mobbed. Once on a shopping trip with my mom, there was a crowd of people in front of the door yelling, ‘Bring out Webster! Bring out Webster!’ And they’re ranting and they’re chanting, and all of a sudden, we heard this thing go ‘{CLASH!}’, and they busted the front display window.
- The only time I’ve ever gotten nervous was at the White House. I was singing ‘White Christmas.’ And I had to think, ‘Well, Mrs. Reagan is sitting there and all these kids are watching–if I mess up, they’re going to hate me.’ And the Main Man was just sitting on my shoulder saying, ‘Lots of luck, kid’.
- I don’t want Webster to be bad. I’ve had lots of kids come up to me and talk to me like I’m Webster and say, ‘You’re so bad.’ But Webster should be a role model.
- I’ve had my production company for a few years, but I’ve just started bringing it out in the last year. I’ve been thinking up new things to do with it. Last year we did ‘Lost in London’ [a CBS TV-movie]. Now I’m looking to move into the feature-film field. We’re all working hard on our own ideas for a story, and we’re looking for good writers. Where are the good writers? They seem to be hiding.
- [on his family]: We weren’t rich and we weren’t poor. We were just happy if we got 50 cents for the week just to go get some snacks every once in a while.
- It was never a shock to me. It was never a thing where I’d say, ‘Oh, my God! What’s going on here?’ You know, I’m short. Alright. – on his slow growing process
- My mom is extremely protective of me. Wherever I went, my mom and my family went.
- I would never really expose any of my girlfriends to the Press. Everything that I would have with them would be very private. I didn’t want to put them through what I had to go through. *I* had to do it. *They* didn’t.
- I love the concept that if I ever wanted to walk away from show biz without having to depend on any past money, I can have current money being taken care of all the time.
