More quotes by Alan Alda
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.
Alan Alda
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
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
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
If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money.
Alan Alda
If you know what you're looking for, that's all you'll get - what's previously known. But when you're open to what's possible, you get something new - that's creativity.
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
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
You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.
Alan Alda
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
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
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
Alan Alda
I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don't agree with what they teach, you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.
Alan Alda
There's plenty of money to be had. But you also lose your soul.
Alan Alda
I've never tried to manipulate my image.
Alan Alda
I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something.
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
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
I'm greedy for that satisfaction of doing something hard and knowing that, even though I was afraid I couldn't do it, that somehow I can deliver.
Alan Alda
Life is great-I wouldn't know what I'd do without it.
Alan Alda
