Blame Quote by Michael McIntyre
“I had some terrible times - comparatively speaking. I saddled myself with a load of debt, I wasn't liked by a lot of my fellow comics and I used to blame other people for me not getting a break. But now I realise I just wasn't very good. And as soon as I became good, things took off pretty quickly.”

I always expected to work hard for my money and to get nothing I did not…” quote by Buster Keaton](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/72b/buster-keaton-22416_bad-years_i-ve-had-few-dull-moments-in-my-life-and_1458229.jpg)
