George Sidney American Director Quotations

I've had 79 to 80 years of show business. I started when I was 5 with a man called Tom Mix. I didn't have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I'm all show business!

When you worked in a studio it was the studio system that you kind of missed because it was a big, big family. I mean MGM had 5,000 people working a day there. You miss it.

Once I make a picture, I never look at it again.

It's a terrible thing to say I know. I've only done what I wanted to do. It's a real luxury. I only made the pictures I wanted to make and lived in the places I've wanted to live. I'm very, very happy.

When I was 50, I said, 'That's it,' And they said, 'How?' I said, 'What do you mean how? I've been working now for 50 years now.'

I made all these films and I had all kinds of great experiences. I worked with the great filmmakers and it was a very exciting life.
