Jack Hill(I)

After working with Jack Nicholson in La vergine di cera (1963), he considered him to be a terrible actor, but when he saw him in La piccola bottega degli orrori (1960), he rethought his opinion - and figured that Nicholson had just been miscast in various Roger Corman films.

[on making 1970s "blaxplotation" films] You were working on pictures that the industry had nothing but contempt for. There was a lot of racism in the industry, a lot of it was under the surface, but it was here. And the executives at the studios really had contempt for the audience they were making movies for. It was an uphill struggle to try to do anything really good.
