For a man who purports to have learned of media ethics only this month, Mr. Williams has spent an undue amount of time appearing as a media ethicist on both CNN and the cable news networks of NBC.
When you play the same character for a long time, you have a shorthand. You get onto the set, you put on your outfit and two-thirds of your work is done because you've built on that work for so many years.
I will say that when I first came out to the States to work on 'Jericho,' that was the only time that I've ever been frightened about a job, because in America they tell stories over such a long time, and I was petrified that I'd get bored.
I've had wonderful collaborators. They're very different, just as actors are. Working on a show with Nathan Lane is different from working on a show with Chita Rivera. It keeps you on your toes because it's different every time.
I remember one time being told I could not play in a basketball game at the College of William and Mary because I was black, even though I was playing with a United States Army team.
Roper: What's the matter? You on a diet? Williams: I like to eat, if I can find something I can keep down.
Staff Sergeant William James: There's enough bang in there to blow us all to Jesus. If I'm gonna die, I want to die comfortable.
Sergeant Marcus Williams: You owe that girl a childhood. Damon Macready: I'll tell you who owes her a childhood, FRANK D'AMICO!
William of Baskerville: The only evidence I see of the antichrist here is everyones desire to see him at work.

William Somerset: If John Doe's head splits open and a UFO should fly out, I want you to have expected it.
Tommy Williams: I don't read so good. Andy Dufresne: Well. [pause] Andy Dufresne: You don't read so *well*. Uh, we'll get to that.
William Stryker: If there's one thing I know more than anyone else, it's my own work. Seal the room. Shoot it.
Colour Sergeant Bourne: The Lord of Hosts is with us. Cpl. William Allen: I hope so... as I live and die, I hope so.
If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.
A lot of poets too live on the margins of social acceptance, they certainly aren't in it for the money. William Blake - only his first book was legitimately published.
I don't make money doing my podcast. I've learned that people want to hire creative people who are already doing something when they approach them.
Get that right, then- if you get the quality right, then the marketability or whatever; your ability to sell videos or your ability to earn money or whatever, will follow naturally. But try to be creatively lead rather than market lead. And that's im...
Not so much in Canada, but certainly in the US, as I'm sure you know, money is all, and if they can get another 26 programs of the same thing even though it advances the culture or those actor's careers not at all it doesn't matter.
Science is very vibrant. There are always new observations to be found. And it's all in the interest in challenging the authority that came before you. That's consistent with the punk rock ethos that suggests that you should not take what people say ...
