[on working with Joan Crawford on Berserk (1967)] "Joan Crawford said she was lonely, and I could see and feel that she was. She wasn't easy, but I think Berserk (1967) was hard on her precisely because it *was* a B-movie. And there was something very likable about her - after all, when people show their vulnerabilities, it's hard not to forgive them for other things"

Oh, I loved John Wayne. He was just so charming and easy to work with. Although we shot the film (Brannigan (1975)) in London, it was like making an American movie just because you were working with John Wayne. It was very funny to see the look on people's faces when we were filming. We'd pull up in a car on a London street, and you'd see these people looking at him, and they must have been thinking, 'That man looks just like John Wayne. But, oh, it can't be.' I think he got a kick out of that.
