I miss the comraderie of live television - the fact that you were on the set, you worked closely with the director and the cast, that I miss. But, no, I'm happy, I'm happy doing film.

More quotes by Rod Serling
I think I'd rather win, for example, a Writer's Guild award than almost anything on earth. And the few nominations I've had with the guild, and the few awards I've had, represented to me a far more legitimate concrete achievement than anything.
Rod Serling
The Chancellor, the late Chancellor, was only partly correct, he was obsolete. But so was the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under 'M' for mankind... in the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.
Rod Serling
I don't have close relationships with agents. They're friends, but they're not confidants.
Rod Serling
I'm afraid that if I started to ponder who I am and what I am, I might not like what I find.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.
Rod Serling
Writers vary tremendously. Was it Tom Wolfe who stood up or was it [Ernest] Hemingway who had to stand up? I don't know.
Rod Serling
I'd love to be able to write an in-depth piece of what causes men like [Richard] Nixon and [H.R.]Haldeman and [John] Ehrlichman and all the rest of them not only to run, but what causes us to vote for them.
Rod Serling
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
Rod Serling
This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you're entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
If you need drugs to be a good writer, you are not a good writer.
Rod Serling
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.
Rod Serling
You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and what-all. If you write beautifully, you can write beautifully.
Rod Serling
Bias and prejudice make me angry...more than anything.
Rod Serling
I would guess that Ray Bradbury would be equally resentful of what they did with Illustrated Man, which, you know, took a central idea thesis of his and pissed all over it - made it into one of the worst movies ever made.
Rod Serling
I'm a Western-cultured man who subscribes to the ancient saw that men do not cry, I don't cry either. I'll go to a movie, for example, and not infrequently something triggers the urge to weep, but I don't allow myself.
Rod Serling
If you want to prove that God is not dead, first prove that man is alive.
Rod Serling
Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete.
Rod Serling
Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest.
