“I’ve done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl’s father. It’s a half-hour comedy. And I’ll be doing some more of those.”

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers… I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.

I was coming into a situation I didn’t really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character’s kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops.

On the other side, if Im playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. Thats what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.

I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.

If your focus is there, then the actual doing of the job will be fun and enjoyable. But if you’re so involved in trying to be interesting and a character and everything when you’re not working, it can get in the way and people get goofed up.

As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I’ve been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.

Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom.

I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they’ve mentioned to me before that they’d like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report.

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it’s a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.

The things I enjoy most as I watch the movie are the things that came through without even thinking.

The SG-1 franchise has been so successful for the network, that they always want to keep it open, an option to do it again in some way, whether that’s a movie or a series, or whatever.

Yeah, I’m very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I’ve worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they’re into, so I’m hoping that I will.

The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go to Hawaii. There don’t seem to be any takers on that one!

We come in. We don’t know anybody or very few people that we work with, but the nature of the job pulls us into a sort of an intimate kind of relationship and communication and then they’re gone and it’s kind of melancholy.

We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.

In France, the leader of Jacobinism perished on the guillotine; with us, the change of leadership was achieved by means of arrest and banishment. The technique of the process is gentler, but its essence is the same.

America took me into her bosom when there was no longer a country worthy of the name, but in my heart I am German – German in my soul.

Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.

Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more actions, and more growth than everything else combined. Comfort kills!

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.

He knew them only ‘in Braille’ – the curtains were never drawn back in the rooms in Oxford where he met those boys. It was the most sordid life you can imagine. And he was bleating about love and dragging the fair name of Mr. Plato into the trial – after a life like that?

I can’t name three first-rate literary critics in the United States. I’m told there are a few hidden away at universities, but they don’t print them in ‘The New York Times.’
