From at least as early as 1977 (e.g. "Comedy's King Leer," Newsweek, 29 Aug 1977, p. 44), this has frequently been characterized as a real-life response given by Marx himself to enquiring reporters; in fact, it's a slight variation on this scripted passage—"Why ... I haven't got one. I could give you my footprints, but they're upstairs in my socks."—from A Day at the Races (1937), as found in A Day at the Races : Screenplay by Robert Pirosh, George Seaton and George Oppenheimer (1972), p. 29
