The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ken Berry
- I saw a song and dance act at the carnival and decided that’s what I wanted to do. I worked on my mother first, she convinced my dad, and I started taking dance lessons at the Maureen Bennett Studio.
- I hooked up with Warner Bros, and I was dying to play Ensign Pulver in the ‘Mr. Roberts’ series, and I didn’t get the part. Instead they cast the with Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch in ‘F Troop.’
- I lost a lot of jobs because I looked too much like Tom Selleckā¦ or Robert Redford.
- It was scary. I went into that with great apprehension. All you hope is that you don’t hurt it. I had nothing to do with the success of ‘The Andy Griffith Show.’ I just hoped I wouldn’t do anything wrong.
- When ‘Mama’s Family’ was canceled, I was stunned that the phone didn’t ring anymore.
- It’s very difficult for me to explain myself. I used to park blocks away from NBC when I went to work there so I wouldn’t have to tell the gate-man who I was. He’d always repeat ‘Who?’ And I’d have to go through who I was again and where I was working. So I’d just park on the street and find a fence I could climb over.
- Sure, if I had a choice I’d really prefer Jackie at home, waiting for me with a hot meal on the table. But I married a show business gal – we met when we were working in the old ‘Billy Barnes Revue’ and I went into that marriage with my eyes open.
- I like getting up when everyone else does and going home when everyone else does.
- I had found my niche working in a trade I love with reasonable hours.
- The thing about hoofing is that It’s much more intricate than people realize. Occasionally you see some good hoofing on TV. Bob Hope is very good at the old slide steps. George Burns does a good, old-fashioned sand dance from Vaudeville!
