More quotes by Alan Alda
Kids are natural scientists.
Alan Alda
I'm very interested in the improvisation because one of the things I do is to help train scientists to communicate in a better way and more personal way when they're making a presentation, and I use improvisation to do that.
Alan Alda
I wouldn't live in California. All that sun makes you sterile.
Alan Alda
For a while in my teens, I was sure I had it. It was about getting to heaven. If heaven existed and lasted forever, then a mere lifetime spent scrupulously following orders was a small investment for an infinite payoff. One day, though, I realized I was no longer a believer, and realizing that, I couldn't go back.
Alan Alda
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
My relationship with science is as someone who's curious and hungry to know, hungry to understand. So all I have to offer is my ignorance and my curiosity, which is a good combination, as long as they come together.
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
After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life.
Alan Alda
There's plenty of money to be had. But you also lose your soul.
Alan Alda
You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.
Alan Alda
What then are doing if not creating a better place together? I think, for me the key has to be, what do I want to create? What is it I want to leave behind?
Alan Alda
Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been.
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
If you don't listen deeply, the connection won't take place.... [You have to be] willing to be changed by the person you're listening to, where you're not just waiting for a pause so you can say your thing, but you're actually letting them have an effect on you if they can.
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
Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe - you can't take a taxi.
Alan Alda
And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.
Alan Alda
I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something.
Alan Alda
I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?
Alan Alda
As an artist, as an actor, as a writer, you have to use what's personal to you. You have to be personal about your work otherwise, it doesn't ring true.
Alan Alda
