I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.

When two characters or two actresses are together for a while there is bound to be chemistry developing.

When you're on a long running series, you reach a very rarefied, high oxygen area and after a while to keep a show on the air they have to make some very drastic changes.

It was understood that when I left to do the pilot that I wasn't coming back.

My brother Mark still lives in the house we grew up in.

Running is a great way to relieve stress and clear the mind.

I didn't even know Michele before we started the show but we became great friends, and still are.

So I had all the names, three names, and that's good to have on a soap.

Running is my church.

I'm Presbyterian and I don't go to church very much.

I need to run every day. If I don't I feel cheated.

I want to play trailer trash; I swear to God.

Knots was about the relationships that were built over many years.

You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7.

They wanted to make her less rural, less of a cartoon. Not that Southern woman are cartoonish - they're the strongest women in this country, but with Val they wanted to take the stereotypical things out.

When I'm not involved in an acting job I try to run 10 miles a day.

I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.

When I become the village idiot, or at least, it starts to become a joke, you can't do that much longer.

A couple of years ago I ran in the LA Marathon.

David Jacobs is a great influence on my life, has taught me so much about so many things.

And so, little by little, I gradually divested myself of pretty nearly all of the guest conducting I used to do, because I was at the same time working in the places like the Met, where I could work in this sort of depth.

The New York Times published the guest list on the front page. The masks were a brilliant concept.

You know it's funny that none of the regular late-night shows now use guest hosts the way Johnny did. No one talks about it much, but it's curious that they don't do it. They would each have to be asked the reason why they don't.

I know what she used to do sometimes. She kept her best cape she wore on the street in there, and she used occasionally to go up there to get it and to take it into her room. She kept a great deal in the guest room drawers.

Perhaps host and guest is really the happiest relation for father and son.

But also, the guest workers program, it's quite often misused, meaning people could come in as part of a guest workers program and after two weeks in the fields, they'd run off to do every other kind of job that isn't covered by a guest workers program.

When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.

Thom is one of those wonderful people to cook for because he absolutely loves it, just loves it. He loves to eat and drink and he'd be a great guest at any dinner party.

O, once in each man's life, at least, Good luck knocks at his door; And wit to seize the flitting guest Need never hunger more. But while the loitering idler waits Good luck beside his fire, The bold heart storms at fortune's gates, And conquers its desire.

My first appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show was in '81.

When I first was conducting as guest conductor in Europe 25 years ago, I would propose doing American pieces and grudgingly it would be accepted from time to time.

I becan acting when River was doing this TV series and they needed two kids for the show, so they got me and my little sister, Summer, to do it. After that I did some really weird guest spots with orangutans and stuff.

I did a guest appearance on The Practice and loved it.

I was on the show previously as a guest host, so I had a little practice.

The guest gets at least as much service with us as with some established airline, if not even more. And at by far a favourable price. Thus the passengers remain gladly with us.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

I for one believe that we absolutely need an improved guest worker program, one that holds immigrants and employers accountable and yet still enables us to get a crop out of the ground in south Georgia.

Our profession is very much like going to a cocktail party, you check out the guest list.

We've had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He's handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.

Enforcement is the long overdue step to protect our Nation from external threats in a time of war. And then once we do that, we can effectively discuss a guest worker program.

A recent Pew Hispanic survey found that more than 70 percent of illegal immigrants from Mexico are interested in a guest-worker program and then returning home.

After guest appearances, I got the offer to do the show as the successor of Arthur Schwartz. It's so much fun.

The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who's new.

I remember the guest stars who came, they were always trying to find a new plot for their characters because they wanted to stay. It was really a great working environment.

We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.

We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign.

Doing that, then doing a lot of theater, which I love. Doing guest stars, did two independent films that are going around to all these festivals. Both of them are going to be at the Lake Tahoe Film Festival.

As a guest who doesn't eat, drink or smoke, you leave much to be desired, but as a writer, you're my girl.

I've turned my guest house into this little studio, and we have actors come over and do readings.
