Referee Norlinger is outstanding in the sense that he stands out.

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

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

A woman beautiful facially can negate all her beauty by no longer being feminine.

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 always had good friends and people know that I've got no ax to grind.

The first thing my agent told me in 1959 was he said you have to have something recognizable that people will remember. “What are you? Do you have cleft in your chin? You have a Jimmy Stewart kind of talk?” And I thought I don’t know what I can give them that will be different.
