    • Robert Conrad: (on comparisons between himself and James West) Oh, that character was light years away from me. I'm not debonair. I'm not suave. I did wear tight pants, though, because I found out that it worked. I think we were selling, at that time, not any different than they're selling today. You know, this whole thing about Ricky Martin, and how successful that young man is. He's 27, I was 29. I mean, we merchandised conditioning and sex. You can do all the things with innuendo. You don't have to show me things I don't really need to see. It's so much sexier to be subtle, to maybe have tight pants and take your shirt off and see these beautiful women on the train every week.
    • Robert Conrad: (describing "The Wild Wild West") It was just so elaborate and so luxurious. We had every gadget imaginable. You know, I had the little gun that came out [of my sleeve], and I had the little gun in the heel of the shoe. You name it, we had it. It won't happen again. You're not going to duplicate this show.
    • Robert Conrad: If one of [his daughters] came to me before she had finished high school and announced that she had intended to marry a boy with no job and little education, I'd forbid it - just like a stern father in a melodrama.
