- You kids think you invented free love in the '60s. You have no idea what it was like to be young and beautiful in the '30s in Hollywood. Everyone was sleeping with everyone.
- [on working for Sam Katzman] Sam Katzman had a reputation as one of the cheapest guys in the world. I never had any idea that Atom Man vs. Superman (1950) would remain so popular. At the time it was a three-week job. Even so, I loved playing Lex Luthor. I could put on my meanest face. I used to have the attitude that it was better to work than sit home idle, and as a result I did a lot of things that weren't the greatest. But that was my fault.
- On Warner Bros. studio contract work in the 1930s: "They had to guarantee you a certain amount of work, but that was never a problem. We generally worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. I can remember often working on two or three pictures at a time. I rode a bicycle between sound stages, carrying two or three scripts in the front basket for pictures I was working on, and two or three in the rear basket for upcoming pictures".
