Ken Adam's biographer Sir Christopher Frayling: "It is said that when Ronald Reagan first became president, he visited Washington and asked one of his aides to see the War Room under the Pentagon, and the aide said: 'Mr President, there isn't one.'"
Sir Ken: "I was in the States giving a lecture to the Directors Guild when Steven Spielberg came up to me. He said 'Ken, that War Room set for Strangelove is the best set you ever designed.' Five minutes later he came back and said 'no, it's the best set that's ever been designed.'" (talking to Vincent Dowd in the BBC World Service's Witness programme, 2013)
