I'm no different to anyone else; I want people to like me. I just don't particularly want them to understand me.
When I was a kid I was very interested in the idea of the will, finding out what you're capable of. I liked those kind of challenges.
The director's very important to me, particularly when the director has a recognizable style.
Celebrity is okay as long as you know it's not about you.
I think back story can help guide your choices, but when you're playing a scene, you're not making choices; you're just intuitive.
You have to lose yourself to find yourself.
A man who is not with a woman is a dead man.
Without a unified political climate of opinion, there is little or no political profit in doing the right thing.
If you have no authority to legislate my freedoms, then I'm truly free, at least from you.
Natural selection certainly operates. It explains how bacteria will gain antibiotic resistance; it will explain how insects get insecticide resistance, but it doesn't explain how you get bacteria or insects in the first place.
In the road ships must ride in 30, 40, or 50 fathom water, not above half a mile from the shore at farthest: and if there are many ships they must ride close one by another.
Fame, like the river, is narrowest where it is bred, and broadest afar off.
A show like Knots or any other show that can be called a soap opera does terribly in syndication because if you're a viewer and you miss a week you don't know what's going on.
Donna Mills came on the show as a female antagonist, about a year before, so now they wanted to have a male antagonist. I was cast as a Senator to shake things up.
Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they're individualized to an extent that you can still follow what's going on if you miss a week.
I try to watch only real things, which basically amounts to C-Span for me. I like real people in real situations. I learn from that.
It worked well because Don Murray didn't want to be on Knots anymore.
Networks don't want a show with a continuing story. There's no backend potential.
Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.
When you go to a movie, it's about what's not being said. I tried to bring that to Greg Sumner. It was always about what's not being said.
I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic.
