- Ernie Orsatti committed a fashion faux pas in his iconic fall, not with his flamboyant frilly shirt and outsize bow tie, but in wearing white baseball socks with his immaculate tuxedo.
- I'm hanging and I was so nervous I wore white baseball socks with the tuxedo, and your feet are exposed and everyone yells you idiot, you don't wear white socks for the tuxedo. I know, I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous.
- I no longer was an actor anymore, oh yeah you're the guy who did the stunt in The Poseidon Adventure, you're a stuntman - I wish I'd found that out years earlier because I'd be richer.
