Barry Williams's Quotes

• [When asked if he had dated Florence Henderson in real-life]: It was flattering that she gave me any attention at all. So what was clearly an example of a nice lady humoring her young co-star instead gets turned into 'Greg Brady is dating Carol Brady!'
• [on his on- and off-screen chemistry with Florence Henderson, who played Carol Brady]: When those little things called hormones start kicking in, you get excited by even inanimate objects. It wasn't that I sought to bed her. I just wanted to spend time with her.
• [Of Florence Henderson]: I did have a crush on her - I was also, like 16. I think that my approach to going out and Florence's were slightly different. Did I wish maybe in Fantasy world that it could turn into a romantic encounter? Yes, but the reason that I asked her to go out was to talk about music and performing. I would go to her sometimes when I was struggling with issues. Before my name was called and I was ready to go out, Florence appeared at the theater backstage. It's this kind of loyalty and support and caring... thus is the way she was in life with people. I learned so much about how to be in public from her graciousness.
• [About Florence Henderson's sense of humor]: Well, she kept the mood, very, very delight. She would do anything to make people laugh. She like to tell jokes, sometimes, she like to tell off-color jokes. Things that Carol Brady would never say. She was able to 'reign us it,' and keep us in line.
• [Who interpreted [Florence Henderson]'s real-life persona]: Florence Henderson, the matriarch of [The Brady Bunch (1969)] would be the first to admit that her life was anything but 'picture perfect.'
