David L. Wolper

"I got my philosophy of filmmaking from making 'The Race For Space' and I never changed it from that first show. I want to entertain and inform, not just inform and not just entertain. I want to do both in the same piece."

"The highlight of my career at NBC, was building a close knit and very efficient organization on the West Coast that served NBC very well for many years."

Sid Sheinberg
"I agreed to meet with Columbia. He takes out this little pad of paper and he says, 'Write down the terms under which you will come to Columbia. I'll deliver those terms.' I said, 'No.' He said, 'You can't tell me that there's no terms under which you'd come to Columbia.' I said, 'I will never walk into Lew Wasserman's office and say I'm leaving. Under any terms.' He looked at me for a second and said, 'You know something? I believe you.' And that was the end of that."

"My contribution to Saturday Night Live was to say: 'One, let's do a show at 11:30, live sketch comedy, with young people. Two, literally ordering that such a show go on. And three, backing it. That was it. Creatively, it was their show to do."

"Fox was not structured. We were much more casual about things.  It didn't matter that your job was a casting director, if you had a story idea, you'd come in and see me.  The table of organization was very flexible. I think that's kind of all gone."
