- [on his choice of a stage name from a photo of Van Johnson on his sister's wall] It's a good thing she didn't have a picture of Maria Ouspenskaya.
- My father...used the stage name King. That made it tough on me as a boy, because I used the real family name - Stein - when I went to school. All the teachers were confused about a kid named Stein whose father was named King. I was confused too. So...when I turned professional, I had to find a name. There were too many people named King around and I didn't think Stein had glamour, so I picked Van. But I've legalized it, so my children won't have the problems I had.
