I think people identify with Columbo because he is an average man.

Even the first year of 'Columbo,' 'Columbo' was Jesus Christ, No. 1, you know.

Columbo was never comfortable if somebody considered him unique or smart.

To be totally sincere, I'd surely be a better actor today if I hadn't played Columbo all these years.

Columbine was so frightening. And the media took off with it, like everything else, so it instilled more fear in people. You're looking around at school for kids like the ones who committed the shootings, and you feel wrong for doing that, you know?

I think we should be encouraged to learn from Columbine and let it be a battle cry for all of us.

I've been asked a few thousand times how much of Columbo is Falk and vice versa.

You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids.' It's only them!
