Happy Days was a wonderful, wonderful experience and I would not have traded it for the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Happy Days' is the type of show that represents the best we can be. It's something warm, something tactile when life was good and life was simple.
I did not know what it was to be happy for a whole day at a time, scarcely for an hour.
Happiness is a mysterious concept. It seems to work best as futurity: at that point I will be happy, et cetera. I feel like I experience small pieces of joy day to day.
I always wanted to be known as the Norman Rockwell of television, and 'Happy Days' represented the part of me that wanted to make mainstream America laugh.
I was a happy man, never working. Sometimes I saw days with no money to eat. It was not so difficult.
A lot of our happiness is derived from experiences, not from buying products. People are twice as happy buying experiences as products. People are happy buying experiences. They don't want something that's commoditised.
I knew everything and received everything. But real happiness, is giving.
Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude.
I would trade everything I have to have had a happier childhood.
I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare, and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children; but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind, and I can no longer recall them.
