  • Quotes
    [on Slávka Budínová]: "An impeccable actress, with a bit of a complicated personality. Sometimes she could be great, like a ray of sunshine, but the next day she was completely different, even unpleasant. It depended on how she slept, I guess. But I always enjoyed seeing her and working with her."
