If you hang onto something long enough, it will come back in style.. Like ME.

I'm really much more like Phil Potter from [the 1979 film] Starting Over. People do think I'm the Bandit [from Smokey and the Bandit ], and I'm a lot more serious than that.

I had known Hal [Needham] for a while by the time he moved in, so I was sure we'd get along well, and we did. He'd go off and do his gigs and I would do mine, and when we were lucky we got to work on the same ones.

There are no awards in Hollywood for being an idiot.

The most important thing to remember is: to protect your quarterback - ME!
