Alan Alda
People who laugh together generally don't kill each other.
Alan Alda
Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries

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
I've sat looking down into a volcano that could blow at any moment I've helped catch a shark and several rattlesnakes I let a tarantula walk across my hand, and I ate rat soup.
Alan Alda
It's really clear to me that you can't hang onto something longer than its time. Ideas lose certain freshness, ideas have a shelf life, and sometimes they have to be replaced by other ideas.
