| 1 | You sit down to do a job. By the time it's over, if you're lucky, it's been much more than a job. Yes, you've poured a lot of yourself into it, much more than you knew. |
| 2 | [To Louis B. Mayer, who had mused wistfully 'Whatever happened to the songs of yesteryear?'] I don't know, I don't know, where did I put them? Betty, Andre, where did we put those songs of yesteryear? Can you remember?' [Running around, looking in drawers] 'Didn't we put them somewhere here?' |
