- Barry Morse: (Commenting on David Janssen's death) I was quite horrified. David was only 48 and that seemed to me to be a tragically young age. It was a great waste.

- Barry Morse: (Speaking to David Janssen) David, son, if you are going to go on collecting, do, please, if you can, collect something which is relatively inexpensive, like stamps or coins. Don't go on collecting wives, it's a very expensive habit!

- Barry Morse: I've always thought that we in the arts---whichever art we happen to be in---are all "shoplifters." Everybody, from Shakespeare onwards and downwards, who enters any of our activities must acknowledge that we are shoplifters. But once you've acknowledged that, make sure that when you set out on a shoplifting expedition, you go always to Cartier's, and never to Woolworth's!
