Quotes
[on making The Owl and the Pussycat (1970) with Barbra Streisand] The first day she comes in 30 minutes late and I say, 'Good morning, Ms. Streisand. You owe me a half hour.' The next day she's right on time and we're still lighting the set. I tried to hide, but she found me and said, 'Get over here.' Then she whispered in my ear: 'We're even.'
