hurt creativity thinking
I don't think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity - it is not a level playing field
thinking giving world
In many respects, I think a lot of businessmen have become highly insensitive to the world, the environment, to everything around them. What are they doing with the millions and millions of dollars they're making? Why don't they give anything back? That, to me, is the height of insensitivity.
running stress thinking
Running for me has always been a great place to get away. It's a great stress reliever for me. It's great if I need to be working on something in my mind, whether it's things I need to be memorizing or thinking about, or I have some presentation coming up.
avoid tried various work
I've done a lot of work other than sci-fi, and between half-hour comedy, stage, and various movie roles, I've really tried to avoid being typecast.
feels good people
To do something for other people when they need it most just feels good.
What we are as actors, for better and for worse, is visible.
amount composed considered life people worked
I've composed a fair amount in my life, and some of them have made it on to the screen, some compositions that I've done, a few. And I like doing that. I had never really considered doing a full-length thing. I've worked with other people creating full-length pieces.
park shoot shot
I've shot a lot of places, and I've produced. I always thought, 'Gosh, when you shoot in a big city, it's so difficult.' And New York, I always think, 'Where are you going to park the trucks? How are you going to stop the traffic?'
movies pole tent
The movies are about big tent pole movies and big action and effects.
I've always been told I had an old face. So when I was in my 20s, I never got to play a teenager.
phenomenal
These sci-fi fans are phenomenal in the standards that they hold you to.
allowed certain demands gave helped huge nature notoriety opportunity people perceive planet role success versatile wide work
'Quantum Leap' gave me a huge opportunity as an actor. The nature of the role and it's demands allowed people to perceive me as a versatile actor, and the wide success of the show around the planet gave me a certain notoriety that helped me get other work.
degrees grew louis middle weeks
I grew up in St. Louis, and I don't know if you've ever been to St. Louis in the middle of summer. There are days in the summer sometimes, weeks in the summer, where the temperature can be over 100 degrees and the humidity can be 100 percent.
athletes bunch good kids sports
My kids are good athletes and runners. They run in a bunch of sports.
