"Roger came to me and said, 'I want to make a picture called 'Attack of the Giant Crabs,' and I asked, 'Does it have to be atomic radiation?' He responded, 'Yes.' He said it was an experiment. 'I want suspense or action in every scene. No kind of scene without suspense or action.' His trick was saying it was an experiment, which it wasn't. He just didn't want to bother cutting out the other scenes, which he would do."

"My priests of Joppa are loyal. I will speak to them in dreams and omens. As my Calibos suffers, so will Andromeda. I promise you. The son of Zeus is to be left to the whim of chance, while mine is punished with deformity. [picking up the clay figure of Perseus] It is time for chance to intervene. Time you saw something of the world, Perseus. Time you came face to face with fear. Time to know the terrors of the dark and look on death. Time your eyes were opened to grim reality. Far to the east, across the sea, in Joppa, in the kingdom of Phoenicia. [she sets down the clay figure, transporting Perseus to Joppa]"

"Clash was destined to be my last hero picture, and looking back, the decision to end my career at that point was absolutely right. With all the problems involved in production, and the knowledge that I was losing precious control of solo animation, I was forced to concede that it was time to stand aside for others and their new technology to take over."

"Perseus and Andromeda will be happy together. Have fine sons... rule wisely... And to perpetuate the story of his courage, I command that from henceforth, he will be set among the stars and constellations. He, Perseus, the lovely Andromeda, the noble Pegasus, and even the vain Cassiopeia. Let the stars be named after them forever. As long as man shall walk the Earth and search the night sky in wonder, they will remember the courage of Perseus forever. Even if we, the gods, are abandoned or forgotten, the stars will never fade. Never. They will burn till the end of the time."

"The child, Perseus, is the son of Zeus. That is why he is to be saved... and why Argos is doomed."

"[After Perseus leaves without his sword] Oh, impetuous. Foolish. Ah, dear, the young. Why do they never listen? When will they ever learn?"

"I was partial to tragedy in my youth. That was before experience taught me that life was tragical enough without my having to write about it."

"Bear witness, Zeus, and all you gods on high Olympus! I condemn my daughter Danae, and her son Perseus to the sea! Her guilt and sin have brought shame to Argos! I, Acrisius the King, now purge her crime and restore my honor! Their blood is not on my hands!"

"This one time in Galway, when I free-climbed the cathedral, a priest chased me down the whole of the ground floor. That was brilliant."

"If you're a caver, jumper, climber...you just do it and not give a shite. Or the thing that's bigger than you will get you."

"You think it's dark when you turn out the lights, well down there it's pitch black."

"Well...they're totally blind. And judging from what we've seen, I'd say they use sound to hunt with. Like a bat. And they've evolved perfectly to live down here in the dark. Whatever they are, they go to the surface to hunt. And they bring their food back down here to eat, through an entrance."

"You can move. Sarah, look at me, look at me. The worst thing that could have happened to you has already happened and you're still here. This is just a poxy cave and there's nothing left to be afraid of, I promise."
