Michael J. Nelson (talking about the film Manos: The Hands of Fate): We [the writers] started watching it, and had never seen anything like that. We kept saying to ourselves, 'There is no way we can do this movie, it is just too bizarre.' But we finally decided, 'No, we must bring this to the world.'

Michael J. Nelson [His explanation of how the show 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' lasted so long (10 seasons)] I think the thing is just not to get famous, which is what we've done. We're always under the radar, we're durable because we're so not successful.
