If you want to prove that God is not dead, first prove that man is alive.

I don't have any system. I dictate a lot, through a machine, and I also have a secretary. But I used to type just like everybody else.

How can you put out a meaningful drama when every fifteen minutes proceedings are interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits with toilet paper? No dramatic art form should be dictated and controlled by men whose training and instincts are cut of an entirely different cloth. The fact remains that these gentlemen sell consumer goods, not an art form.

Bias and prejudice make me angry...more than anything.

The most important thing about the first sale is for the very first time in your life something written has value and proven value because somebody has given you money for the words that you've written, and that's terribly important, it's a tremendous boon to the ego, to your sense of self-reliance, to your feeling about your own talent.

Personally, my daughter's wedding gave me a tremendous pleasure.

Our greatest responsibility is not to be pencils of the past.
Rod Serling

I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead—your next stop, the Twilight Zone.

When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling-and that's one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find-I've still got a hometown. This, nobody's gonna take away from me.
