It's being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of your opportunities.

I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

I have twin boys, 12, and a daughter, 17.

I think I've got one more series in me, and I don't care what it is.

It's being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of your opportunities.

I started out wanting to coach football.

Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.

I learn the whole script before I show up.

I've never minded my kids watching any of the series I did. That's important to me.

The Six Million Dollar Man was one thing, but I wanted to keep my own parts.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.

I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.

Acting is a tough business, and the percentage of people who make it is very low - it's about 1 percent.

I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.

I had no idea how big the show was at the time we were doing it because I was always working.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

Then I got a bad back injury, and they thought I wasn't going to have any feeling in my legs.

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

Knee replacement is serious stuff. And it actually could have made me worse.

I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.

I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry.

Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.

For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.

I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again.

I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

We've had it very clear to the Bosnians that our obligation to equip and train their forces is completely conditional on the foreign forces being gone.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.

For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.
