Tony Curtis: Questions His Sanity, Not His Morality

By Alicia Sparks

Tony Curtis (Some Like It Hot, father of Jaime Lee - yeah, yeah, I know - like Tony Curtis needs an introduction) is another celeb with a tell-all memoir to recently hit shelves.

From what I gather, American Prince houses Curtis’s narrative on his womanizing ways, his battles with drug abuse, the ups and downs of Hollywood, and the personal tragedies he’s suffered behind the scenes.

Of interest to my little corner of the Internet is Curtis’s comment on his mother’s schizophrenia. When Patricia Sheridan of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette asked Curtis about his mother’s schizophrenia and whether he ever worried he would have the mental disorder, Curtis replied:

Yes, I did. You have to question your own sanity, you know? I know there was nothing wrong with my morality.

Haha - er, wait. What?

I’ve read that quote tens of times now, and I still have no idea what he meant. I get the “you have to question your own sanity” bit, because, really - don’t we? *sigh* But I’m lost on the morality part. I’m pretty sure he’s not comparing schizophrenia and morality on any level - positive or negative - so…what is it?

Does Curtis keep some kind of checklist by his bedside? Does he look at each night and mark off the things he feels are good to go? “Take vitamins - check. Paint interesting picture - check. Keep morality in line - check. Sanity - uh…”

I don’t know.

If you do, feel free to chime in.
