    • William Conrad: (on guest starring on other TV shows, including Barnaby Jones, while starring in Cannon) The Cannon people would be happy if I didn't do anything else — they're worried I might collapse. I do all these things because I like to do them. It's relaxation for me, a kick in the butt.... Quinn Martin, who produces both shows, asked me if I would do Buddy's first program, and I said I'd be delighted. If I hadn't wanted to do it, I wouldn't have.
    • William Conrad: Nobody else seems to mind my size, so why should I? I heard that Weight Watchers had banned its members from watching the show, but it turned out to be a gag. The publicist for Weight Watchers did call and suggest that I have lunch with their president. I said sure — if I could pick the restaurant.
    • William Conrad: (on whether his size effects his work on Cannon) There's nothing wrong with the word 'fat,' If you're fat, you're fat. I'm as healthy as I can be; I haven't felt so good in 20 years. We had a stuntman do the long shots in the pilot film, but then I had to go in and do the same things in close-up. So I said to myself, if this show is going to run, I'll have to get into condition. I started going to a gym — and I despise working out — and even lost a little weight. Now I feel terrific.
