" Let's just say that the part isn't conducive to leisurely living the way I once knew it. I only hope that I can regain my own identity, once I decide that Perry Mason and myself have come to the parting of the road. Perry Mason has become a career for me . . . all I know is that I work, eat and sleep Perry Mason."

(Raymond William Stacey Burr, attore; New Westminster, 21 maggio 1917 – Sonoma, 12 settembre 1993)
