During the rape/murder scandal, 1921: "I don't understand it. One minute I'm the guy everybody loves, the next I'm the guy everybody loves to hate." When people called him Fatty behind the screen - the nickname he hated but had to use in his films - he said very quiet, "I got a name, you know." "A good laugh...is the most worthwhile thing in life." "I shall produce nothing that will offend the properties whether applied to children or grownups. My pictures are turned out with clean hands and therefore with a clear conscience which, like virtue, is its own reward. Nothing would grieve me more than to have mothers say "Let's not go there [in Cinema] today, Arbuckle is playing and he isn't fit for children to see." I want them to think always otherwise for me, for as long as I can please the kiddies, I don't care who entertain their elders." On Chaplin: "I have always regretted not having been his partner in a longer film than these one-reelers we made so rapidly. He is a complete comic genius, undoubtedly the only one of our time and he will be the only one who will be still talked about a century from now."
