  • Good living I've learned, not inherited.
  • [on Fred Silverman, ABC's programming chief, who canceled Harry O (1973) after two seasons] Silverman wanted more sex and violence in the show. I wanted more humor - more relationship between myself and Anthony Zerbe.
  • You have no idea how much work goes into an hour show. It's three times harder than doing a half-hour show and that's not faulty arithmetic.
