Occasionally, on screen, Barbara [Stanwyck] had a wary, watchful quality about her that I've noticed in other people who had bad childhoods; they tend to keep an eye on life because they don't think it can be trusted. After her mother was killed by a streetcar, she had been raised in Brooklyn by her sisters, and from things she said, I believe she had been abused as a child. She had lived an entirely different life than mine, that's for sure, which is one reason I found her so fascinating. I think her early life was one reason she had such authenticity as an actress, and as a person.

Jimmy Stewart was a very sincere, honest and straightforward man.

I think of Mike Myers as the Buster Keaton of today. I think he's brought us something so special.

I was spawned by some pretty good people in this business - Mr. Astaire, Mr. Tracy. They stopped and took their time to talk to people.

I liked working in a series, going to work every day and not having to leave town for long locations. I was producing them and building an audience.

It's sensational to be a part of a series that takes on a life of its own.

Pets have more love and compassion in them than most humans.
