The making of television has changed quite a bit. Now you have to do them n cheaper budgets.

Star Wars, the original movie, was all the various old genre of pictures: the swashbucklers, the war movies, all those things were put n there in a different look.

The most colorful section of a bookstore is the display of SF books, with art by people like Wayne Barlow, who is a terrific artist.

It's very frustrating not being on the air.

I can't believe we're in the middle of the fifth season, and if this is all there is, my God, it went fast.

I just always had a love for television and movies.

A storyteller is basically what actors and writers are.

I enjoy working with Melissa a great deal. We're always looking for projects to do together. I was happy to have her do the show, because she doesn't normally do episodic unless she's starring, and I was very happy with the results.

I don't call myself a writer.

I would love to do a Western again if Westerns came back into fashion.

I had a great run on Babylon 5. It was a lot of fun.

Will Shatner, Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek have already put novels out.

So I had a ghostwriter, they call them, or somebody who is an experienced writer, to help. I've got the ideas in my head, it's getting them properly on paper.

I read H.P. Lovecraft. I also like Sword and Sorcery stuff, Arthurian legend.

I've had quarter horses for the last 18 years.

Basically I started to jot notes, lots of faxes back and forth to my writer, we faxed ideas throughout the whole first draft, and started all over again.

Yes, I've just bought a new horse, named Jedi.

In television, the audience has to be comfortable with you, and I've managed to prove that I can be in American homes to some degree, and not necessarily where everyone knows me, either.

It's not highly intellectual material. I'm dedicating it to the pulp fiction of the past.

I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man.

As a boy, I didn't need a lot of playmates to have a good time.

I started acting professionally at age 19.

A show needs time to find an audience, and they're very quick to pull them off the air now.

That's the great thing about being an actor, you get to try out lots of things for your roles.

I'm living what I always wanted to do.

I started in high school and then I went onto professional training after that.

Certainly, because the computer and computer language was still not as common as it is today. That's one of the reasons I believe Tron wasn't as popular back then as it is today.

They've also asked me now to start on another series that we're gonna do after this Frontier Earth. But it's not science fiction, it's more in the Mystery and Crime division and that's another area I'm very interested in.

Balanced budget requirements seem more likely to produce accounting ingenuity than genuinely balanced budgets.

I had learned many years ago in private business never to take responsibility without adequate authority; and the new Secretary of Defense, as budgets were sharply cut, quickly found that out.

The U.S. government has in recent years fought what it termed wars against AIDs, drug abuse, poverty, illiteracy and terrorism. Each of those wars has budgets, legislation, offices, officials, letterhead - everything necessary in a bureaucracy to tell you something is real.

Without a doubt, first thing we should do is clean up our fiscal house, and that starts with balancing our budgets and digging out of this red ink. We cannot expect to continue in this fashion and remain the leader of the free world.

In these difficult financial times for so many of our districts, as our local leaders strive to balance their budgets by cutting services, we would be irresponsible not to invest in the arts.

The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.

I have voted to make tough decisions in budgetary times, I've served on two recessionary budgets, my opponent has never served on any a budget committee where there was less money to spend than the year before.

So many directors are solely focused on their own success in Hollywood and multimillion dollar budgets and deals.

I'm coming to Washington, D.C., to do the people's work. And the people's work has to do with reducing spending and cutting budgets and, and trying to get a grip on the size of government.

We say that anytime budgets are balanced and an ample savings account has been set aside, government should just stop collecting taxes. Better to leave that money in the pockets of those who earned it, than to let it burn a hole, as it always does, in the pockets of government.

As I said a moment ago, there is no higher priority in our budget, or certainly in the budgets of the past few years, than providing for what is needed for the protection and security of our country and support of our troops.

Spending on programs such as national defense and funding the operating budgets of all federal agencies represent only 39 percent of our yearly budget, an all-time low.

I'm not sure it's the stimulus money that will necessarily allow the economy to recover. It will help to fortify our budgets, frankly, to ensure that there isn't as much backsliding in the areas of education and healthcare, for example.

Some couples go over their budgets very carefully every month. Others just go over them.

For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don't do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck.

American advertisers rely on 'essentially illogical' approaches to determine their advertising budgets.

And as you point out, for American families who struggle every day to figure out how do they pay, we talk about gasoline prices. That throws budgets into a real problem when you have budgeted really tight.

More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down.

There had to be a hysteria and a fear sent through America in order to get increased war budgets.
