Quotes

  • [about Steve McQueen, whom he first met after being hired to write for Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958)] All you had to do was see him move in front of the camera and you knew he was going to be a big, big star. It was obvious.
  • [on Laurence Harvey, with whom he worked on Walk on the Wild Side (1962)] He had a sense of self-destruction. But that was true of all Lithuanians. He was a nice guy, who had some bad habits, like he would cut a slice of bread and only eat the insides--leave the crust all over the table. Only eat the soft parts.
