- [about his father acting in the Bowery Boys movies] I think he was the best actor of the whole group. Where Papa was concerned, he was great.
- [about his parents] Russian Jew and Irish Catholic, that's about as mixed as you can get without trying too hard.
- [About William 'Billy' Benedict (Whitey) from the Bowery Boys movies] I always liked him. We used to fish together and we used to go surf fishing, and one day I stubbed my toe on a rock. I was running out there in a real hurry to catch a sea bass and I stubbed my toe, and it really fascinated me at how interested he was. He wanted to take care of my toe, you know, fix it. Of course he couldn't because it was stubbed, but he really took a sincere interest in it and he taped it up or something. I don't know what he did. It was rather surprising because most times, guy stubs his toe, the other guy says 'that's too bad, you stubbed your toe, that's rough,' you know? I mean that's their attitude...very very nice person.
- [observation, as a five-times-married man] Kids have a habit of marrying their first date and spending an awful lot of time wondering what the other dates would have been like. I never made that mistake. I married them all.
