- [2016, on suggestions of a Just Good Friends revival] People ask me and say wouldn't it be lovely but I don't think it would. And of course [writer] John [Sullivan] is not around. It would have to be somebody else and it was his. John's genius and writing for a woman, it was a wonderful experience, I used to meet him for lunch quite regularly. But he was a genius, he knew how to write comedy that meant something. And of course, it really affected people. And I don't know that you could use the same characters with somebody else at the helm. I'd be worried about that. So no, let's keep it special. Something unique.
