Quotes
"“I was already committed to a play back in New York about Hans Christian Andersen, where Colleen Dewhurst was going to play my mother. I was excited about that, and I got this script called ‘Back to the Future,’ and I thumbed through it. Didn’t pay a hell of a lot of attention.” (Christopher Lloyd)
