rocks blood rock-n-roll
I've got rock 'n' roll in my blood.
stars wind heaven
A true pilot must of necessity pay attention to the seasons, the heavens, the stars, the winds, and everything proper to the craft if he is really to rule a ship.
forever mind example
Mysteries simply are a feast for an active mind. And while in my lifetime I've seen science make extraordinary inroads into solving the most complex questions of life, after all this time I admit that I am thrilled that there are some things that forever will remain a mystery. For example, do I wear a toupee?
limos should minutes
Everybody has their 15 minutes, and those 15 minutes should be spent in a private limo and a private plane. It's the ultimate.
sake
Oh, for God's sake... get a life, will you?
awe-and-wonder people world
I am curious about many things, and find the world around me, and the people and objects and things in it, equally fascinating. There is a great deal of that awe and wonder in me.
new-york actors tvs
Gradually the live TV scene simmered out, replaced by film, and that took place in L.A. So many actors left New York.

Death is an absolute marvel.

Although I'm a business major out of McGill University, I know nothing... but then I found out much later in life, nobody knows anything.
cadence
Your cadence is your music.
thinking phones people
I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, 'Why don't you just call?'
preparation astronaut
I've been approached to do some things with astronauts and the preparation that astronauts go through.
feet might aim-high
You might as well aim high. Why shoot yourself in the foot when you can shoot yourself in the head?
actors rehearsal want
You cannot begin to imagine the shock I had when I came down on the floor for the first time. First of all, there's this whole thing about playing sitcom comedy. I didn't want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn't know what else to do. I went slowly. We went through the week of rehearsal, then we got on the floor with the cameras, which I'm used to because of my experience in the old days. Then came camera day, with an audience, and it was stunning, enthralling, exciting and chaotic. I had never experienced anything like that before, as an actor. I was part minstrel, part actor.
