- [in 1965, speaking about the films he'd produced] They weren't great, but they weren't supposed to be . . . I gave the public what they wanted--a chance to dream, to live vicariously, to see beautiful women, jewels, gorgeous clothes, melodrama.
- The way life looks in my pictures is the way I want life to be. I don't hold a mirror up to life as it is. I just want to show the part which is attractive.
- [on Doris Day] No one guessed that under all those dimples lurked one of the wildest asses in Hollywood.
- [to Doris Day on the set of Pillow Talk (1959)] You are sexy, Doris, and it's about time you dealt with it. If you allow me to get Jean Louis to do your clothes, I mean a really sensational wardrobe that will show off that wild fanny of yours, and get some wonderful make-up on you, and chic you up and get a great hairdo that lifts you, why, every secretary and every housewife will say, "Look at that--look what Doris has done to herself. Maybe I can do the same thing".
