#Quote
1[about The Crawling Hand (1963)] I could have had Burt Reynolds, who read for a part, but I didn't think Burt was good enough; at that time, he was a stuntman. So we wound up with Kent Taylor, who was a bit of a problem. He was never on time and he never knew his lines.
2[about Whit Bissell] He was a very capable actor, always on time, always knew his lines--he was "Old Mr. Reliable", and he could play almost anything you wanted him to.
3[about the string of low-budget sci-fi movies he made in the 1950s and 1960s] I remember when I was doing these pictures, my kids were ashamed of me, they felt I was pandering. I said, "Look, we've got to eat--they're fun to do and I don't mind". Now they're clamoring for me to collect the posters of these films, which I've been able to do.
4[about the troubled production Monster (1980), which he took over from another director] A terrible movie we made in New Mexico . . . John [John Carradine] and Tony [Anthony Eisley] were the only bright spots in the production.
