"I never should have done My Favorite Martian (1963). I didn't work in television or film for three years after. Everyone thought of me as a Martian. Do you know what it's like to go to Madrid, Spain, on vacation and have a guy yell out, "Hey, Martin!" and put antennas behind his head? When that happens, you know your career is dead."

(Ray Walston, all'anagrafe Herman Walston, attore; New Orleans, 2 novembre 1914 – Beverly Hills, 1º gennaio 2001)
