Mervyn LeRoy, the director of Quo Vadis, gave me this gem of advice on how to play the Emperor Nero: `The way I see Nero, this is the kinda guy who plays with himself nights`.

- Adrienne BachmanThere are certain forms in which vice appears not only monstrous, but ridiculous; the cruelty of Nero is more disgusting than that of Tiberius.
- Andrew Brust
