Notes on Peter Riegert

"It never occurs to me that acting with a superstar is something to worry about. I figure the bigger, the better, because more will be demanded of me." --Peter Riegert in New York Post, April 21, 1997.

"When I started acting, my goal was to find [the equivalent of] two people: Eugene O'Neill and Preston Sturges. [My] Sturges was Bill Forsyth, who did 'Local Hero'; unfortunately, he lives in Scotland. And with David, I thought, 'This is my guy.' I didn't know he had these two friends named Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy." --Peter Riegert quoted in In Theater, November 14, 1997.
