Quotes

[about making Monstroid (1980)] . . . That was a disaster. The producer [Kenneth Hartford] raised enough money to get us on location and buy ten feet of film, I guess, to start out . . . that was a terrible experience.

[on working with Mamie Van Doren on The Navy vs. the Night Monsters (1966)] Her nose was out of joint about everything in the world at the time. I have no idea why, but she wouldn't even say hello! You'd play a scene with her and it was like she was in another world, and she was offended at people talking to her even when you were just doing dialog! It was just incredible; I don't know what her problem was, but she couldn't wait to leave. That was very uncomfortable.

[on working with Al Adamson] I had never gotten that close personally to Al. I never disliked him, but I kept an emotional distance from him because I felt that he had excruciatingly bad taste. I wanted to reserve the right to say, "No, thanks, Al. I won't do that". So I never warmed up to him too much.
