Busby Berkeley

“I was not a dancer. I was a drill sergeant.”

“In an era of breadlines, Depression, and wars, I tried to help people get away from all the misery... to turn their dreams into fantasies.”

“The camera is the audience's eye. I've got to make it see what I want it to see.”

“I tried to do things with the camera that absolutely could not be done on the stage.”

“I'm a guy who likes to make pictures with a lot of beautiful girls in them.”

“I wanted to make people happy, if only for an hour.”
