I was studying American politicians who were searching - allegedly - for American communists because it would put them on the front pages of the papers in their home towns.

The marvelous thing is that for thousands of years people have continued questioning and searching and ultimately concluding that reasons for certain occurrences are not given to man to know.

Man has always needed to believe in some form of a continuity of achievement.

The world's philosophers and theologians searched for answers to the same mysteries.

Of course, neither David or myself ever saw a penny from them; it was the early days of merchandising.

I had never thought of my career as going in the direction that it did, as far as fan response was concerned.

I come from a long line of staunch Irish Catholics.

In the beginning, fear was the dominant motivating force.

Why do people embrace God? In my opinion, belief in God and an afterlife is a necessary extension of man's need to feel that this life does not end with what we call death.

I'm still very close friends with his first wife, Neile, who is now remarried.

Audience response to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. back in the '60s - well, I was frankly surprised by the show's success and the attendant publicity for David and myself.

I have always been adventurous and rather daring.

For example, I tend to personally reward myself for specific acts of exceptional discipline.

You see, some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education.

The one they always forget is Brad Dexter.

My belief in God is responsible for what I am... How can I refuse to talk about something which is so much a prt of my life both as a man and as a actor?

My opposition to the Vietnam War. I was the first Hollywood actor to speak out against it.

I've been obsessed with clothes since I was a little boy.

I went to college with James Coburn and Steve McQueen was a very good friend.

I sincerely believe I could have wounded up in a lot of trouble if I had not been taught as a boy to fear Hell, and to believe that certain wicked acts could lead me to damnation.

By virtue of believing in a Supreme Being one embraces certain mysteries.

I travelled to California when I was 18 and went to Los Angeles State College.

While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.

All I did was basically play myself in the role of Napoleon Solo.

My childhood beliefs became so much a part of me that even today I find myself automatically living by a personal standard of conduct which can only be explained as resulting from my religious training.

When you're a guest star on TV shows - particularly in the 1960s - you're always the villain.

So for Bullitt, I just put my black hat back on.

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 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.

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!
