When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair.

Series work is just grueling.

There are a lot of good stories out there, but I haven’t found too many great scripts.

Knots Landing is the best thing that ever happened to me.

American shows don’t always translate, but this one has and speaking for myself I’m quite glad for it.

I’m not trying to say that it never hurt or that I never felt its sting, but I can honestly say that I never blamed anybody for racism. I have considered it more of a...

I thought LSD was an abused drug in that it was never meant for a person to drop and then go walking down the street.

You don’t become the character.

Obviously, if a director doesn’t communicative a clear, relevant vision of the material, it will not succeed no matter how good the material.

I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.

It could be a great script but the director is not the right person for me to work for at this time. So there are a lot of elements that come into play and a...

In business everyone is out to grab, to fight, to win. Either you are the under or the over dog. It is up to you to be on top.

I grew up in an environment of jokes and sarcasm and puns. I talk that way, so I write that way.

But I guess I like playing flawed guys ’cause it gives a place for the characters to go.

Yeah, but there’s nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant.

I’ve made my peace with myself.

If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.

Not eating meat is a decision, eating meat is an instinct.

I don’t think I’d ever be cruel to an animal.

Chiapas is probably the main concern I have right now for the planet.

I work with Garry no matter what. What I wanted to keep going was the streak.

It’s a mental fake-out to myself. I make believe I’m making a new show so I forget the material I was working on and make up some fresh material.

The writers are writing human beings, and they’re writing about the human condition and how difficult it is to function in that condition. I think it’s one of the charms of the show, the idea...

Changing mass consciousness is an individual responsibility.

None of us really understood exactly how much Star Wars would affect us for the rest of our lives.

Teachers are out there with a very difficult job, which they pursue with tireless dedication.

I ride my horses three to four times a week.

For me, college wasn’t a breeze. I had 8 o’clock classes, I worked from 3 to 11 at the Settlement House. On weekends, if Northwestern Bell needed me, I’d troubleshoot for them, and I had...

First job I went out on in new York I got, and when I came back, the first job I went out on, I got.

It’s an extra dividend when you like the girl you’re in love with.

What do I really think? What do I believe in, without the horse manure?

I was a shy, quiet kid. I was happiest playing by myself with my toys, rather than hanging around people.

I think that between the egos of the actors and the wrestlers in this country we are taking away from the truly dedicated and informed people who should be getting their voice heard.

I bought a mountain bike, and I started running. These are things I wanted to do in Jersey, but you know Jersey weather. So, the weight just came off.

It was easy to be the bad guy throughout.

I don’t see me doing $100 million films because $100 million films, the very nature of them, you need to offend as few people as possible just to make your money back.

I’m always happier and a better actor when I can really lose myself in a character and become somebody else.

It’s amazing that this is all happening to Lost in Space.

You’d be surprised at how undemanding acting is.

When the major studios flourished many years ago, an actor was groomed, developed, and worked frequently at his craft. The studios really took care of their actors.

I think I’ve spent so much time playing characters that are so far away from me and learning how to technically build and how to technically put something on top of you.

No, the type-casting didn’t happen until after Star Trek. I don’t think that you get typecast until you’ve been cast!

There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.

Time, motion and wine cause sleep.

It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are.

Now, there is always a tremendous fear of science and progressing forward into areas of the unknown and it is a valid fear. Some of the genetic alterations of food are a little edgy.

The next day I was in my school’s production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn’t recognized before.

Sometimes you find that there is better material in small and more independent movies. There’s more risk-taking.

Writing is the beast unto itself.
