I almost rented a house by an architect named Schindler, but I couldn't afford it. It was a jewel.

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.

I was the last one to screen test for The Hardy Boys. I'd like to play that's not as clean-cut as Frank Hardy. I play him as straight as possible.

Intellectuals would be much more accepted now than in the '40s.

The Hardy Boys burned me out. I was recharging my batteries. It was time to return to work, but it was tough because my visibility was low.

During the time I was on The Hardy Boys, I was also watching other people's careers. I thought the next step was to be a movie star. I kept saying no to projects, and offers stopped coming in. I was no longer hot.

I remember the day I found out my draft status. I was really floored and kind of staggered around in a daze. It just hadn't occurred to me that I could end up in Vietnam.

I do interviews because it's a chance to be myself. I sometimes wonder what I could have to say that would be of any interest. I don't have any great wisdom.

You get in before sunrise and you get out after sunset and you go home, eat and collapse. While you're aware of the ratings, you aren't prepared for the response of the fans.

I used to a lot. I used to go dancing.

You do show after show after show and get them done and on the air. Television devours material. We work a minimum of 12, 14 hours, and often 15, 18 hours a day.

Suddenly you're surrounded by strangers who want something from you. The thing is, they don't know what they want, and you don't know what they want, unless it's an autograph, and you just sort of stand there grinning at one another.

I like people who are enthused about things they do, like travel, sports, work. I like being with people who have things they're excited about.

I'm more interested in where I'll be in five or 10 years than where I am now.

The first two pictures I did, I played a young student in prep school. When I did Lifeguard, everyone was saying, You're so Southern California. It was a surprise to me.

California lacks a lot of the rules and restrictions the East has. Every house is a different style, different material, different color. There's a lot of craziness out there.

What I do is not some magical, mystical thing. I simply get up in the morning, get to work on time, say my lines, and do the best I can.

Good work is good work wherever it's done, in a play, a motion picture or television, and that includes commercials.

I still think of myself really as a New Yorker.

In this business, you just never know from day to day. It's one reason I held off getting too involved in entertainment. I like being able to plan, I like to know what I'm going to be doing.

I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school, but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

I made a classic mistake. I held out for something better.

If I have a Sunday free, I'll go up the coast and spend some time on the beach. I scuba dive and swim and sail. A lot of the things I like are around the water.

I did a comparison of a school of architects known as the New York Five. I compared their articulation of wall surfaces, which I enjoyed very much.

I almost rented a house by an architect named Schindler, but I couldn't afford it. It was a jewel.

I wanted my children to have the same exposure to the water I had. My strongest memories of Northeast Harbor are going in a small Whaler with my dad, looking for osprey.

I think the reaction to a World War II situation would be the same today as it was in 1942. Initially, people would question, but once patriotism got stirred up, the whole thing would gather momentum and we'd all pull together.

If it seems like you're doing work when you're acting, then you're doing something wrong.

In 1942, everyone was ready to go and fight for the good guys. It was so simple.

I'm going to go away on vacation, I'm going to try to get away from the phone, away from scripts. I think it's important to sit back and think about what you want.

Young people are forced to mature sooner now than in the '40s. I was doing things at age 14 that guys in the movie were just beginning to do at 16 and 17.

I looked along the San Juan Islands and the coast of California, but I couldn't find the palette of green, granite, and dark blue that you can only find in Maine.

Well the way we perceive accuracy and what accuracy is statistically are really two different things.

It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself.

True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time.

Our dreams drench us in sense, and sense steeps us again in dreams.

With expectations, when you throw that stuff out there, when you put a bunch of pressure on yourself to reach those goals, you don't do anything different. You just keep working to get better.

This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It's all the tradition.

I hope I have a long career, but I really don't think about the future like that. I live, like, for right now, honestly. I take it however it comes.

When I say, 'I am supporting the police or the army,' I am talking about the army in general and the police in general. In general, those institutions are good institutions.

I don't care what other people say. The important pressure, you put on yourself. The pressure that others put on you? I ignore it.

But little white lies here and there is human nature. Everybody does that.

I love 'Batman.' I love the Adam West 'Batman.' I love the animated 'Batman.' The character of Batman can encompass any interpretation, which is what makes that character so brilliant and why it's survived so many different media.

The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.

Romantic fiction is the only purely feminine art form. All other art forms were shaped and are dominated by men.

With time, many of the facts I learned were forgotten but I never lost the excitement of discovery.

I'm always surprised by things that happen to my work.

You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears. You see it through what the organization is delivering as far as a concrete program. If the tree's fruit sours or grows brackish, then the time has come to chop it down - bury it and walk over it and plant new seeds.

I'd follow Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson anywhere.
