My background is on the stage, so when I’d write movies, they’d be a lot like plays. Alan Alda Read Quote
On the stage, the characters express themselves more through words than images. So the arguments of the characters and the tension between characters – words have to be used to express that, and I love that about theater. Alan Alda Read Quote

Well, that’s not good for science. Alan Alda Read Quote
I never thought about my image. It interests me that there are people who do, that they seem to be methodical about it. Maybe things would have gone differently for me in some ways if I had. Alan Alda Read Quote
