- Eddie Albert: (on why he accepted the role on Green Acres) Everyone gets tired of the rat race. Everyone would like to chuck it all and grow some carrots. It's basic. Sign me. I knew it would be successful. Had to be. It's about the atavistic urge, and people have been getting a charge out of that ever since Aristophanes wrote about the plebes and the city folk.

- Eddie Albert: (on his post-war career): I took everything they could throw at me, pictures like The Dude Goes West and The Fuller Brush Girl. I worked myself back up, but I never wanted to be a star. I was aiming to play the star's best friend.
