Nothing would make me happier if Peter Falk would finally win his Oscar for this. Not just as the writer but as a fan and a friend. It would be so great.
Every time I see Peter Falk in the movie I think that would be great. We'd be fun together.
Along came a police lieutenant named Columbo, and my life would never be the same.
There isn't an Eskimo who doesn't love 'Columbo.'
Even the first year of 'Columbo,' 'Columbo' was Jesus Christ, No. 1, you know.
I've been asked a few thousand times how much of Columbo is Falk and vice versa.
In fact, I had the idea because of Peter Falk. I saw my dad watching a Peter Falk movie and something clicked in my head. I gotta go make a movie for Peter Falk and me.
We have such a long, familiar history with Peter Falk. The minute his mug is on that screen people smile.
I still get fan mail for Columbo.
