  • Quotes
    [about producer Quinn Martin] If it was a hit, may he rest in peace, it was Quinn Martin's hit. If it was a failure, it was everybody else's. And you were not to get your name too prominently mentioned in the trades or the newspapers. [Quinn Martin Productions] was sort of like a factory. There was only one person there who had autonomy, and it was Quinn Martin. He was a great friend and a terrible enemy, and you never knew which one he was going to be on any given day.
