There came [a script called] “Dracula Sucks.” Now, I liked “Dracula Sucks,” but we gotta change [the title]. They said, “If you like that, you’re going to like this: ‘Zorro the Gay Blade.’” I decided I was going to go out and raise the money and develop my own projects. And that’s what I did. I made “Love at First Bite” and I made “Zorro the Gay Blade.” [Script rewriter Hal Dresner] and I put together “Zorro” in about eight weeks.

I've developed a self-discipline since the time I was a child.

Women want honesty but sometimes get upset if you are honest, so you need to know when to be honest.

There are a lot of self important people who make you believe they're artistes and high on the intelligence quotient and I've sat down and listened to them and just been bored.

I doubt anyone in Hollywood has had more 'dates' than me.

He caught that with the outside of his instep.

I look at scripts as good or bad. If it's bad, it better pay a lot of money.
