Famous quotes by Peter Falk:

"Paul never told me anything about why he wrote it -- he never mentioned his father and he never mentioned my father, ... He never put me in a position in which I would feel a lot of external pressure other than wanting my reaction to the script. That's the way I would do it. That's the way I know a real professional would do it. That's the proper to do it."

"They know there's a gap, and if they're interested in finding out more about why they aren't more connected with their parents, they should see the movie,"

"Turn the camera on!"

"Sometimes I see my father in me,"

"I never heard that before in my life. I loved it so much even though I was supposed to be mad at him. You see the look in my face, which is so delighted."

"It wasn't that we improvised it. We were going to shoot it, but I had the props in my hand, and I wanted to understand the props before we shot, so I asked Paul 'Is this the hook?' and 'Where do you put the worm?' that's when the director just said 'Shoot these guys!' I didn't even know the camera was on, but it felt good!"

"It was automatic. We were always on the same wavelength even before we started shooting."

"He sent the script over and I read it that first night, and about page 45 or 50, I called him up and said I'd do it. I didn't even finish it. You look for a part that you can score in. If I like this character and I can play it, the people are going to laugh or be interested, that's what you look for. They send me things that I wonder why they would send to anybody."

"The Gus Morgan Story."

"For my money, Patrick McGoohan is the quintessential Columbo adversary."

"If your mind is at work, we're in danger of reproducing another cliche. If we can keep our minds out of it and our thoughts out of it, maybe we'll come up with something original."

"I never understood a word John Cassavetes said. And I think he did that deliberately."

"Usually, I get hired because I'm tall."

"I did do my own stunts."

"I'm just looking to get through the day."

"The only mountain that I would still like to climb: I'd like to break 85."

"You talk about what a director, he was smart. He said, Turn the camera on!"

"I came to Hollywood and nobody knew me. I was on a coupla TV shows."
