You can never tire, never wilt-and become half-tyrant, half-psychiatrist, half-madman, and half-dead to get it the way you want. Which I did. And it almost killed me. (unknown)
Someday I would love to publish the hundreds of letters I've received from people around the world, telling me their stories of having stumbled into my book and taking it to heart, to soul, and recovering from their illness. Amazing stories of recovery. (letters)
We had many intellectuals and industry people who looked down on us, as if it were beneath them to even watch us. Nowadays, those comparisons aren't made. (people)
The trouble with most stage plays nowadays is they are written by people who grew up not reading or seeing the great theatrical literature of the day, but watching network TV. And so they are more like TV sitcoms than stage plays. (people)

You can't leave civilization behind entirely. (civilization)
Dialogue is my forte. Whether that is because I am an actor or merely talented in that regard I have no idea. Nor do I care. When I write, I always feel like I am just taking dictation-following the characters around and writing down what they say. (conversation)
There isn't a place on Earth with the amount of beautiful ladies as LA. When you're young and starring in a successful TV show and playing the ladies' man-well, it's a good thing the show was cancelled, or I would have been old before my time! (acting and actors)
Sadly, there are no rules by which an actor learns his craft. Would that it were that easy. I spent four years studying acting in college and another two years in English Classical training and ended up working a lot on TV. (acting and actors)
I am not simply an actor, but also have written books and now directed/written a film, I have some people that are interested in that aspect of my experience. (experience)
We live in an age of experts, and if you are a TV star... it is difficult, if not impossible, to gain respect as a writer of the kind of books I've written or the kind of film I wrote and directed. (movies)
I am a better actor now than at any time in my life. And haven't worked for seven years! (actors)
I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neither a film star nor having a career on the stage. (celebration)
Hollywood... damn well won't hire a writer over 40 unless he made his mark when he was under 30. America worships youth. It is reflected everywhere. And because wisdom can ONLY come with age, America is a very immature, unwise country. As reflected in its films. (hollywood)
My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank paper in front of me and the time to fill it. (things and little th)
I write from my imagination, not from what I've read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was passionate about. (books)
Months of working on The A-Team had not made me happier or more contented. It has challenged my ability to remain so. The hours of waiting, talking and thinking on the set needed to be balanced. (work)
Over the years I've had many agents, too many to remember. (unknown)
When I was a young actor... the more different you were from the part you played, the more talent it reflected. (youth)
I have written two nonfiction books, I'm embarrassed to say. (books)
I never get involved with the ladies I work with. (work)
It is all about marketing; that is where the real craft comes in. The best actors do not necessarily become the biggest stars. And vice versa. (market)
I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present. (children)
From dear, dear Gloria Swanson, I learned how to live long, happy and free of health problems. I owe her my life. (health)
Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional, psychological growth. (children)
The space genre is timeless. (unknown)
