Nothing like a little disaster for sorting things out.

Producing is a thankless task akin to hotel management. Unfortunately, there are not too many good hotel managers.

I would never, ever, ever, ever say I have regretted the 'A-Team,' 'Magnum PI' or 'Murder She Wrote' or any of the others I did - and if you mention a television series, I'm sure I had a hand in it.

People thought I was dead. But I wasn't. I was just directing The A-Team.
real eye thinking
The difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is that the amateur thinks the camera does the work. And they treat the camera with a certain amount of reverence. It is all about the kind of lens you choose, the kind of film stock you use… exactly the sort of perfection of the camera. Whereas, the professional the real professional – treats the camera with unutterable disdain. They pick up the camera and sling it aside. Because they know it’s the eye and the brain that count, not the mechanism that gets between them and the subject that counts.
extremely quite
I quite like being mobbed. After all, it is extremely nice to be recognised. That's what acting is all about - being recognised.

I don't mind autograph hunters when I go down the fish and chip shop. As long as I get my chips.
