At 200 pounds, with a 17-inch neck, a resting pulse of 78, a bench press of 200 pounds, I was very much indeed a normal, All-American male. I carried my sickness within. (unknown)
The neurosis of all this ageism is that Harrison Ford, Eastwood, Redford, Newman, etc., etc., have been playing heartthrobs until they need more filters than a pack of Camels. And their girlfriends are in their 20s. But being a Movie Star changes all the rules. (movies)
Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely. (movies)
With my introduction to Miss Swanson and macrobiotics, I had become obsessed. (unknown)

One can have a 10-year-old tumor languishing in one's prostate and pass a physical with flying colors. I know. It happened to me time and again, every fall, as I had my physical for college football. And again in 1969, when I passed my pre-induction physical for the military. (cancer)
From the very beginning, the primary appeal of macrobiotics for me was that it was something I could try by myself. I had never sought, nor wanted... help in trying to understand the principles of yin and yang. (unknown)
A stage play requires very different craft from a book, fiction or otherwise, and ditto from a screenplay. (unknown)
America is terrified of the passage of time. Prozac Nation. Land of Face Lifts. (america)
I loved sitting on my veranda sipping quality scotch, puffing a Cuban cigar and watching Cuba on the horizon, or the oceanic vista. Did this late in the evenings many times. (unknown)
To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked. (music)
Time is money, as they say, and it was never more apropos than on a television show, where a minute is worth about $200! (time)
We played on Sunday nights opposite All in the Family. We were supposed to knock off All in the Family. Well, we didn't. They had a different audience and besides, it's a classic. So in the network's view, we were a failure, even thought we were in the Top 20. (plays)
Hollywood... a city I was to come back to time and again, in sickness and in health, in success and in failure, with anticipation and with dread. (hollywood)
The media destroyed the show with all the hype. All the press worked against us. We didn't become the Number 1 show in the country ,and the critics destroyed us. (journalism and journ)
I ALWAYS enjoy myself. And if I didn't enjoy myself in this experience, I should be locked away for lack of gratitude. (experience)
In many ways I wish I wasn't an actor dragging around the baggage from being one so that I could just devote my energies to encouraging people to find their true selves. (actors)
Today I spend more time making music than I do writing. (unknown)
Cassavetes would have been pleased with me. Truffaut, too, I think. (unknown)
There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever. (life)
It is a good motive, fame and money, as it is tangible and measurable. Being an artist is neither measurable nor tangible and certainly not a way to become rich. (fame)
We need to continually look within ourselves. Contemplate our inner being and find our own unique voice and then learn to heed it and we will then have the life experience we deserve. (life)
I am very much a person who enjoys mornings as much as evenings. (unknown)
I have my routine. I'm running 3 or 4 miles a day. (unknown)
People think surviving cancer is tough, or surviving a divorce, but NOTHING compares with fighting with American Culture when you want to raise your kids free of junk food. Read Junk Food Nation. A great book. (people)
I was the final word on everything. I wrote and directed. Complete cast approval. Every piece of music. Every edit. Which means I pissed off a lot of people. (music)
