“Look at 'Bonanza.' If you rely on a gimmick or one big star, you've go...” — Bob Crane Quote

Look at 'Bonanza.' If you rely on a gimmick or one big star, you've got a problem.

You know what they say: You go on the road and you're out of the business. Out of sight, out of mind. I can't afford that sort of thing.

Working at Disney makes you aware of the family image of the studio. There are no naughty words used on the set like there were on the all-male cast of 'Hogan's Heroes.'

I learn by admiring others, listening and correcting what wouldn't be right for me.

Hard comedy goes for the fences. It's also what you might call take-a-risk comedy because if you don't hit a home run, you might strike out. It's either a belly laugh or it's no go and no show.

I always wanted to be a big star.

I'm not a big star in Japan. I'm an actor. I have a very normal life. Four days a week, I cook at home. A star doesn't do that.

I don't want to get any bigger - what does a 'big star' mean? I just want to be loved.

I'm not in a real rush to be a big star.

I'm not interested in being a really big star. I want to be in control of my life. I don't want to worry about the rent.
