- During the 1960s had a five-year 'no strings attached' relationship with actress Diana Rigg.
- Pioneered the use of videotape for location recording in 1964 "capturing the whole of Hamlet at Elsinore electronically in and around Denmark's Kronborg castle".
- In the early 1960s he had a relationship with influential British Pop artist Pauline Boty.
- He reportedly watched 'The Wizard of Oz' dozens of times, his idea of pure escapism.
- I love everything about women, but I fear their dependence. I don't think actresses are terribly special, but being a director, I tend to fall in love with them over and over again...I loathe women who are housewives only. I also detest romantics. I wouldn't want to hold hands and I don't give flowers to women... Unfortunately, over time, women tend to get boring and weepy.
- I've always been drawn to sticking my head on the block.
