Jerry Lewis Quotes

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!

It's easy to not feel misplaced if this tidal wave of appreciation is coming your way.

I enjoy being recognized. I'll be very sad if people stop recognizing me. I'll be very sad if I'm not interviewed, because that's a very amazing process.

There is no better feeling than having the approval and adulation of your fellow human beings.

I have never been one to seek or want attention or admiration or a pat on the back for what I've done.

I love being recognized, I love people liking me, I love the fact that people scream when I go out. I think I'll miss all that when it's taken away.

I can take a lot of pats on the back. I love it when I get admiring letters from people. And, of course, I'd love it if the critics would notice me, too.

I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.

I love all the attention, people noticing me. 'There's the gymnast. There she is!'

We all want to be praised, right?

I don't play for recognition.

Every time my name is called, I get so many cheers, standing ovations, and a lot of hands are being clapped.

If somebody gives you accolades, that's nice to hear but it's not the end-all, be-all for me.

It's not that I need everybody to be patting me on the back.

There's something great about having all the attention and focus. I mean, you can't beat that.

Being the most popular, I don't know; I don't get into people patting you on the back.

Public adulation is the ultimate high.

It feels nice when people recognise you and talk about your work.

There is no bigger certificate than audience appreciation.

I'm happy that I'm getting more people looking at me.

Fortunately, I got critic and audience acceptance much earlier than industry acceptance.
