Alan alda

I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.

I don't miss directing at all, and I don't miss screenwriting either because somebody's always telling you to do something different.

I really don't like plays or movies that service propaganda.

What I can't completely understand is most other people's fascination with what the famous among us do with their lips and the rest of their bodies. Why do ordinary people become the target of this...

I must have interviewed 600 or 700 scientists all around the world.

Almost everybody that's well-known gets tagged with a nickname.

I fix my grandchildren's computers.

Awards shows mainly publicize the people giving the awards.

I love to watch how scientists' minds work.

When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another.
