When I was young, I was looking for people to look up to - role models I could respect.
From Peter Falk
I wanted to become an actor, but I didn't want to admit it.
Children ran up to me shouting, 'Columbo!' At first, it gave me great pleasure, but later, I said to myself that those children should have had their own heroes instead of admiring a cop from Los Angeles.
To be totally sincere, I'd surely be a better actor today if I hadn't played Columbo all these years.
When I go see a basketball game, I'm always in the front row. I always have a table at a restaurant; I never have trouble getting a taxi.
Before we ever had a script or anything, I was attracted to the idea of playing a character that housed within himself two opposing traits.
I just keep working.
I've never worried about the grand concepts.
I do figure every angle of a guy I'm acting - but not consciously 'til afterward.
I got a regret: That I started acting so late. I was 27, and guys who start at 18 or so, there's this kinda continuity of friendships they form in the profession by startin' young, I've never had that.
