Jack Klugman's quotes
- [on his great friend Tony Randall] The best friend a man could ever have. I loved him dearly. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. I will miss him for the rest of my days.
- [on former roommate Charles Bronson] You remembered him. He had an amazing presence.
- [on working with Tony Randall] There's nobody better to improvise with than Tony. A script might say,"Oscar teaches Felix football". There would be four blank pages. He would provoke me into reacting to what he did. Mine was the easy part.
- [on the hardships of his life] Poverty can teach lessons that privilege cannot.
- [on smoking] I saw John Garfield smoke. He was my idol, so I smoked. I even smoked like him . . . The only really stupid thing I ever did in my life was to start smoking.
