Quote
1
On the screen adaptation of his book, Sahara: "I don't know whose book they think they're adapting but it sure isn't mine. I can't approve what they're doing. I've thrown away all the scripts they've sent me - seven or eight so far - and told them to go back and follow the book. But they refuse. They insist on doing it their way."
