Quotes

David Hemmings: To say I was good or bad or not in an Antonioni film is like saying I like the color yellow in a Van Gogh. (edit)
David Hemmings: I would never, ever, ever, ever say I have regretted The A-Team, Magnum PI or Murder She Wrote or any of the others I did - and if you mention a television series, I'm sure I had a hand in it. I was, in my day, one of the best directors of episodic TV around. The A-Team was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. But after 10 years in that game, the work becomes too hard and you become facile.
