As a child, I was always playing some generic child.

Thank you for making a web site for me. I was so surprised when I found it.

I was always an Olsen. I never thought of myself as a Brady. I never actually wanted to be a Brady. I always preferred my own family to the Bradys.

As a little kid, I suppose I was a little weird.

If you were a kid actor, if you had any plans of being an actor as an adult, you were really barking up the wrong tree.

You're looking at a different me than I'm looking at.

As a child, I was always playing some generic child.

These days kids get paid enough that they probably don't need to work too much. The problem is when the person is old enough that they need to work to make a living, and the only thing that they know how to do is what they are already washed up in.

In a way I guess I'd be a bad judge of what it was like because it just seemed perfectly normal to me.

I'm not really an actress type. I'm an entertainer.

I believe in small government and people taking care of themselves.

I had wanted to be a regular character on a series for a while. 'The Brady Bunch' was an answer to a prayer.

I think in order to have eternal life, you have to have a soul, and the soul of the show is that we all really did love each other. I think that really came across.

I would always prefer radio or working behind the scenes where I don't have to be seen. I don't like how appearance oriented TV is (especially now that I'm middle aged!). But I am developing a show revolving around animal rescue which will hopefully entertain and maybe do a bit of good for the cause as well.

I would rather be at Reggae Sunsplash, which happens once a year, than doing some horrible Brady Bunch reunion.

In the end, I realized that I just didn't like acting enough to put up with the stereotype and I didn't really think I was good enough to transcend it.

My Gram said that I would get the role in whichever show God thought was right but it wouldn't hurt to express a preference. I told her that I would like to do 'The Brady Bunch' because I'd have five other kids on the set to play with. God was listening.

Poor is the power of the lead that becomes bullets compared to the power of the hot metal that becomes types.

The essence of the liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment.

Forgive them even if they are not sorry.

When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.

People like me DJs and producers have a bigger say and a bigger voice than weve ever had before.

Scientific theories tell us what is possible; myths tell us what is desirable. Both are needed to guide proper action

My father said I should become a doctor and do science in my spare time, which in retrospect might not have been a bad idea, but I wasn't interested in taking care of people's ills.

Take pride in exactly what it is you do and remember it's okay to fail as long as you don't give up.

I hate being the heartbreaker. Hate it. If I date somebody and it doesn't work out, it's another nightmare for me.

The difference between a nation and a nationality is clear, but it is not always observed. Likeness between members is the essence of nationality, but the members of a nation may be very different. A nation may be composed of many nationalities, as some of the most successful nations are.

I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.

Never defend yourself; agree with your critics, it takes the wind out of their sails.

'Million Dollar Arm' touches on many of the Safe At Home Foundation's core values, such as children, teamwork and family.

I have continued to paint; my father - who was savaged by the critics - continued to paint until practically the last week of his life.

A contingent bailout policy - implicit or explicit - must be coupled with some regulation of what banks can and cannot do. For example, a ban on lending to uncreditworthy customers might well make sense.

The violence in the Bible is appalling.

It's about working when nobody's watching.

By the power of the Holy Spirit we can do what needs to be done.

Before I started chemotherapy treatments, I wrote down the best advice from doctors, family, friends, books, and survivors and created an 'Owner's Manual' to help me take care of myself. It would remind me that cancer is doable.

Part of my head will always be in the years after World War II - the five years before Korea started.

A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.

American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.

I tend not to think about the reading public at all, or the business, when I'm writing.

Sometimes, when you live a life at such a wild edge, an extreme edge of experience, you can come back into the world - if you come back at all - with some essence from that experience that people find useful.
