More quotes by Alan Alda
Almost everybody that's well-known gets tagged with a nickname.
Alan Alda
I've been lucky enough to live through all the things that are supposed to give meaning to our lives, like parenting, grandparenting, art, celebrity. All these things you expect meaning to come from, and sometimes it comes when you're not expecting it.
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
People who laugh together generally don't kill each other.
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

Alan Alda
Life is great-I wouldn't know what I'd do without it.
Alan Alda
Being mystified is a good beginning, because you won't do what you've done before.
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
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
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.
Alan Alda
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.
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
Really top-notch directors, I've often worked with them just to see how they work.
Alan Alda
The one hour live debate in the West Wing that we did was one of the most exciting times for me on stage or on camera, because anything could go wrong.
