I've never minded my kids watching any of the series I did. That's important to me

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.

I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

I learn the whole script before I show up.

I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

They say you should know your limits and work within them. But how can you really know your limits unless you try to expand them?

Life is as large as you explore it.

Indeed, I find that distance lends perspective and I often write better of a place when I am some distance from it. One can be so overwhelmed by the forest as to miss seeing the trees.

A well-spun tale can transport listeners away from their humdrum lives and return them with an enlarged sense of the world. (Peter Nimble)

Instead of a to-do list, you need a success list - a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results.

Life is the jailer of the soul in this filthy prison, and its only deliverer is death.

This is the real power of habit: the insight that your habits are what you choose them to be.

Heroes and cowards feel the same fear and action creates opportunities.

One dupe is as impossible as one twin.

I play piano every day.
