Working on ‘NYPD Blue’ and ’24’, those two series, I did full runs on those. It’s great work, but everything has to align. The producers have to want you; the network has to want you; there has to be great writing; and it’s not as easy as it may appear to the outsiders to make all those things align.

I didn’t choose ‘Silver Spoons’. I think my mom and agent chose it because at that time there was a lack of patience on some of the people that were in charge of my career. I think there was a big offer on the table, and I think they took it. Ricky Schroder Read Quote

Rick’ never really fit. I tried for 18 years to make it work, and no one wanted to call me Rick. It should always have been Ricky. That’s what it always should have been, so I’m going back to it. Ricky Schroder Read Quote
I don’t wilt easily, and a director can’t either. He’s the captain of the ship and he’s got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he’s working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life, I’m very comfortable there. And I’m not afraid. Ricky Schroder Read Quote
I did a lot of gasoline commercials – Hess, Texaco. I was part of the family in the car, the little brat in the back. Ricky Schroder Read Quote
