More quotes by Alan Alda
I wouldn't live in California. All that sun makes you sterile.
Alan Alda
It's always better to be wise than to be smart.
Alan Alda
I've played a murderer, so certainly I think I can play a Republican.
Alan Alda
Kids are natural scientists.
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
Awards can give you a tremendous amount of encouragement to keep getting better, no matter how young or old you are.
Alan Alda
Be brave enough to live creatively.
Alan Alda
Whenever you wonder about yourself, look up at the stars swirling around in the heavens and just realize how tiny and puny they are. They're supposed to be gigantic explosions and they're just these insignificant little dots. If you step back from things far enough you realize how important and powerful you are.

Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you.
Alan Alda
I'm in the real world, some people try to steal from me, and I stop them, frequently, take them to court. I love a good lawsuit. It's fun.

I have a final word of advice to our students. If you work very, very hard, this is the kind of actor, writer and director you may turn out to be, and if you work extra hard, this is the kind of person you may turn out to be.
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
Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been.
Alan Alda
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
Alan Alda
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Alan Alda
Working on The West Wing was similar in many ways to my experience on M*A*S*H, because you had people willing to work late at night to get it just right.
Alan Alda
No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.
Alan Alda
It's not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It's a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I'm not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn't interest me.
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
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.
