- "Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older."― Tippi Hedren
- "Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk."― Doug Larson
- "The funny thing is, strangers still seem to feel comfortable coming up to me and saying things, but now usually it’s because they recognize me, and they say nice things."― Todd Solondz
