"In what business in the world can you have more fun, be creative while you're having fun, be funny and work at being funny, work really nice hours and get paid a lot of money for doing it?" --Blake Edwards in THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER tribute to him.
"He's easygoing as opposed to other directors who dictate and take away the spontaneity." --Dudley Moore
"Before I became a director, when I would go to another country and go through customs, the airlines handed out little cards for your to fill out. I wrote 'writer'. Now I write 'writer-director'. But the great thing about being a writer is that it's not limited to a soundsage and equipment and a crew of people. I wrote 'S.O.B.' in the middle of the Alps." --Blake Edwards
"He has great taste. He married Julie." --James Garner
