On his late Blazing Saddles (1974) star, Cleavon Little: "My rule was not to eat with actors, but I enjoyed him so much that I begged him to eat with me."
- Mel BrooksThat was a movie that was really wild and really funny, but you remember Cleavon Little is a black sheriff in the Old West. It was about race and politics, but it was one hell of a good time.
- John Ridley
