- [on Space: 1999] Variety says it will run till 1999. I'll settle for 1989. In the second year we'll make a lot of money. [The series aired between 1975 and 1977, and the second season was its last.]
- [After seeing the original 25-minute cut of the pilot episode of Thunderbirds for the first time] "That's not a television series, that's a feature film!" [The series was later extended and made into an hour-length show.]
