More quotes by Alan Alda
When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another.
Alan Alda
Be brave enough to live creatively.
Alan Alda
Really top-notch directors, I've often worked with them just to see how they work.
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'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
The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart.
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
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
Alan Alda
For me, I find that even though I've accomplished a few things in my life, looking back on accomplishments doesn't give me a sense of satisfaction.
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
I've never tried to manipulate my image.
Alan Alda
In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain in Chile, filming a segment for 'Scientific American Frontiers.'
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
As I am becoming older, the only thing that speeds up is time.
Alan Alda
People who laugh together generally don't kill each other.
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
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.
Alan Alda
I wouldn't live in California. All that sun makes you sterile.
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.
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
