- [on John Frankenheimer] I don't think John really understands dramatic values; he's more or less mechanically inclined: lenses and camera and that. All that's my job; he ought to worry about the story and the actors.
- [on Humphrey Bogart] What I liked most about him I suppose was that he was honest, he never minced his words. Believe me, ninety-nine percent of the people in Hollywood go through life and never say what they mean, but Bogart just wasn't like that. There was no baloney about him.
- [on Greta Garbo] She was like a horse on the track. Nothing, and then the bell goes, and something happens.
- [on the zoom lens] Zooms are for commercials.
