Peter Falk's quotes
- [upon losing to Peter Ustinov for the 1961 Oscars] When I hit the seat, I turned to the press agent and said "You're fired!" I didn't want him charging me for another day.
- [on Columbo's appeal] What are you hanging around for? Just one thing. You want to know how he gets caught.
- Being chased by Columbo is like being nibbled to death by a duck.
- [on Patrick McGoohan] The most underrated, under-appreciated talent on the face of the globe. I have never played a scene with another actor who commanded my attention the way Pat did.
- You can't use an umbrella as a prop when the sun is out, but you can use a cigar under almost any circumstances.
- I never considered my voice part of my acting arsenal.
