More quotes by Alan Alda
Life is great-I wouldn't know what I'd do without it.
Alan Alda
I had never really wanted to be famous. Everyone is supposed to want to be rich and famous, but as a boy I never knew what rich was, and the first view I had of famous made me leery.
Alan Alda
I'm in this wonderful position where I can do what interests me. And whatever comes along that interests me, I do. The rest of the time I bother scientists about communicating.
Alan Alda
You wouldn't want to be called a sell-out by selling a product. Selling out was frowned on, whereas now you can major in it at business school.
Alan Alda
Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.
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
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 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.
Alan Alda
life is meaningless unless you bring meaning to it ... it is up to us to create our own existence. Unless you do something, unless you make something it's as though you aren't there.
Alan Alda
Be brave enough to live creatively.
Alan Alda
I play tennis non-obsessively. I seem to beat people I play a lot or half the time, so I guess I gravitate to people who are as bad as I am.
Alan Alda
Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries
Alan Alda
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
Alan Alda
Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe - you can't take a taxi.
Alan Alda
I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
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.
Alan Alda
When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another.
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 played a murderer, so certainly I think I can play a Republican.
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.
