Be brave enough to live creatively . . . what you'll discover will be wonderful: yourself.

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.

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.

In the midst of the sense of tragedy or loss, sometimes laughter is not only healing, it's a way of experiencing the person that you've lost again.
Alan Alda
Image
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.

A really great actor, in a lucky performance, can transform himself or herself. I've seen actors do that. But often it's a mechanical transformation, which isn't as interesting, and you've got to be careful how you go about something like that, I think.

Don't be upset that it takes a long, long time to find wisdom because nobody knows where wisdom can be found. It tends to break out at unexpected times like a rare virus and mostly people with compassion and understanding are susceptible to it.

Almost everybody that's well-known gets tagged with a nickname.

Image
I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
Alan Alda
Image
Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been.
Alan Alda
Image
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
Image
War is war and Hell is hell, and if you ask me, War is a lot worse.
Alan Alda
Image
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
Alan Alda
Image
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.

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
Image
I was brought up as a Catholic, and I'm no longer a Catholic. I don't talk about my beliefs too much in public probably because I feel very strongly that it's something personal - more than personal, it's private.

My mother didn't try to stab my father until I was six, but she must have shown signs of oddness before that.
Alan Alda
Image
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
Image
I was always interested in figuring things out. I'd do experiments, like combining things I found around the house to see what would happen if I put them together.
