“I'm trying to find a character that's my age and I can sustain week af...” — William Devane Quote

I'm trying to find a character that's my age and I can sustain week after week. I'd like to do a series.

David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts, since after all, it's the actors playing the character.

And all of Laura's stuff, what they wrote originally wasn't as good and Constance wound up doing that herself. That was all her stuff, reading to the child, because she had children herself and that's what she would have done.

I knew with The West Wing that that wasn't going to be for very long, that I was just the red herring.

It's not the normal way to look at things but I experienced death at a really young age and because of that it's been part of my mental landscape that death is really very possible.

Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.

Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
