Robert Conrad Quotes

I`m satisfied it`s very black, meaning `in the black`.

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`m disappointed. I don`t care about Will Smith, I don`t want to.

There`s a gray area there that I`m satisfied is not gray.

You know, this whole thing about Ricky Martin, and how successful that young man is. He`s 27, I was 29.

It was just so elaborate and so luxurious. We had every gadget imaginable. You know, I had the little gun that came out, and I had the little gun in the heel of the shoe.

Will Smith is young, he`s cool and my kids have his CDs.

But I think Barry Sonnenfeld let his ego go out of control. He told me in a meeting that he had to do something to make it his film.

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.

You name it, we had it. It won`t happen again. You`re not going to duplicate this show.

If his daughter were to marry as a teenager like he did: "If some sixteen-year-old punk were to come to me and say, `Sir, I want to marry your daughter,` I`d say `Fine,` and escort him to an analyst.

If one of the girls 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. - Photoplay, October 1962

(From "The Wild Wild West" (1965)) "We always put in lot more (fighting) than we really wanted to see. (The censors) would say:`We`re going to take out two punches...two of this...three of that...` So when they finished,we were still left with what we really wanted anyway." -Robert Conrad

I neither condemn nor condone the mores of others. I think there are very few really, whose conduct reflects unfavorably on the rest of us in this mythical kingdom of Hollywood. There are men who need many women in order to bolster their egos - half the time, they don`t remember the girl`s name afterward. But I`ve got a good ego to start with, and I`m too sensitive for a quick relationship with a dame and sex alone would never be enough for me. Marriage is something that goes way beyond the flesh. Each human being has his own need for security. ... It`s great to have someone to lean on... it`s great to have someone lean on you. ... (Photoplay, November 1961)
