- Charles Martin Smith: (Regarding working with director John Carpenter) I think John is one of the easiest directors to work with. He's very gentle and good-humored, and I think a lot of the humor in the film comes out of John's own niceness. I had great fun on Starman.

- Charles Martin Smith: (Regarding Never Cry Wolf (1983)) During much of the two-year shooting schedule in Canada's Yukon and in Nome, Alaska, I was the only actor present. It was the loneliest film I've ever worked on.

- Charles Martin Smith: (Regarding Starman (1984)) I've always wanted to do a picture that had at least some elements of science fiction. Even though Starman is a romantic-adventure, there are some aspects of the film that are sci-fi. I've always wanted to get in there with the special effects and the space ships coming down. It looked like a lot of fun to me, and I had a great time doing it.
