Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home.

Ancient recipients of instant news probably couldn't do very much about it for instance. Xerxes would still need three months to get his army together and he might not get home for years.

If you got a good imagination a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.

I never would have given up my work to stay home.

I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.

There are times when I'm driving home after a day's shooting thinking to myself That scene would've been so much better if I had written it out.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't.

My real fantasy if I was to drop out would be to live in a mobile home and be a hippie and drive around festivals and have millions of children - children with dreadlocks and nose rings - and play the flute.

I would love to have a robot at home.

However painful the process of leaving home for parents and for children the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.
