John Logan pretty much does the Woody Allen thing of just bringing people in and meeting them.

If you look around at the people in show business today they are basically the people who didn't give up.

I'm an avid biography reader.

I try not to make plans. Because, even the best laid plans etc. etc.

Certainly I find it most interesting to play a role that I can invent from nothing.

Timing is everything, as you know.

I think the potential for man is so enormous, if we can stay alive long enough, we're going to be seeing a lot of what Star Trek is projecting.

People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite

I think it's the business part of the word show business that causes me the most concern.

When I go to the old folks' home, I'm gonna be sitting in a rocking chair, telling everybody how I worked with Jack [Lemmon] and Walter [Matthau].

My own personal favorite Cher song is the unforgettable Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.

Politics, where fat, bald, disagreeable men, unable to be candidates themselves, teach a president how to act on a public stage.

We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.

The mind is the most important thing of the big picture and no one has a stronger mindset than amateur wrestlers.

Life finds its balance. Children grow up. Second chances come along. In the meantime, I could choose to savor this moment. What good would it do to allow annoyance to interfere with gratitude?

I've already established my (political)machinery. It's like a car. It's fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I wasn't accepted because I didn't accept the drug culture that most of my peers were involved in. Now it's like a locked room.

I would say I'm pro-choice only because I don't feel that it's right that anybody in this world puts restrictions on anyone.

Do not brood. It makes the moment you are living in unavailable for learning and life.
