More quotes by Alan Alda
Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.
Alan Alda
I was a child, and my mother was psychotic. She loved me, but I didn't really feel I had a mother. And when you live with somebody who is paranoid and thinks you're trying to kill them all the time, you tend to feel a little betrayed.
Alan Alda
It's always better to be wise than to be smart.
Alan Alda
I don't really worry about the size of the part much any more. It's nice to have more time to work on the character, and to have big scenes to play. But if there's something playable there, and if it's interesting to do, then that's nice.
Alan Alda
Real listening is a willingness to let the other person change you.
Alan Alda
For me, I find that even though I've accomplished a few things in my life, looking back on accomplishments doesn't give me a sense of satisfaction.
Alan Alda
Republicans are as capable of coming up with great ideas and moving this country along as anyone - they just don't do it.
Alan Alda
I find myself going to places where I really have no business, speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.
Alan Alda
How can I ever hope to communicate something to you unless I get signals back from you that I'm on the right track or that I've started at some place that you're familiar with?
Alan Alda
If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money.
Alan Alda
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
Alan Alda
It makes it fun. When an actor plays a character, you want what that character wants. Otherwise it doesn't look authentic. So I really want to defeat Jimmy - I mean Jimmy as the character.
Alan Alda
When I studied how to think in school, I was taught that the first rule of logic was that a thing cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect. That last note, “in the same respect,” says a lot. As soon as you change the frame of reference, you’ve changed the truthiness of a once immutable fact.
Alan Alda
Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.
Alan Alda
Awards can give you a tremendous amount of encouragement to keep getting better, no matter how young or old you are.
Alan Alda
Our lives depend on good communication. Good communication helps personal relationships, it helps bosses and employees get along better. We rely on it.
Alan Alda
If you know what you're looking for, that's all you'll get - what's previously known. But when you're open to what's possible, you get something new - that's creativity.
Alan Alda
Everybody's on their toes and focused on what we're about to do, and then there's this moment where you relax because you see that everybody is there to do the best that they can. Everyone opens up to one another right away. That's a terrific thing. I love that about actors. They know how personal this job is.
Alan Alda
Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is really advice to myself, a reminder to myself not to avoid change or uncertainty, but to go with it, to surf into change.
Alan Alda
What I always wanted to get seen as was as a good actor, when it was the acting I was doing. When I'm writing, I want to try to be seen as a good writer.
Alan Alda
