[on his injury during filming How to Wake a Princess (1978)] After filming the race scene at the pond, I ended the evening in the hotel Black Hawk in Telc, where we were staying during the filming, by falling from six meters. The place of the fall was strange - I flew through the glass ceiling into the restaurant of the hotel and fell right between the tables. The tables held up, but my leg didn't. Vladimír Menšík visited me the next day in the hospital and said he was very jealous because he had experienced many things, but he had never entered a pub through its ceiling.

[on Vladimír Menšík] Filming with him was always fun and he made you feel like you weren't at work and the only way you could get tired was because your diaphragm hurt from laughing. In How to Wake a Princess (1978), we rode horses together and we also fell off them beautifully together. Most of the time it happened in such a way that we would gallop to a designated place, the horses would suddenly stop abruptly, but Láda and I would continue riding just as abruptly. We flew over their heads, I fell into the bushes in front of a small stone wall and Láda was lying next to me a second later. We looked at each other on the ground and Mensík said to me: "Prince, don't eat the dirt, you know it doesn't do you any good!" Everyone laughed so hard, but the director Václav Vorlíček didn't use it in the film.
