[on James Dean] Intense, moody, incredible charisma. He was short, myopic, not good-looking in life, really. I drove with Jimmy in his new red Porsche once.

[on George Peppard] He's arrogant -- the sort of man who expects women to fall at his feet at the slightest command; who throws his weight around. He gives the impression that he's the star, what he says goes and that nobody else is very important.
