One of the things I was so glad that happened to me on Knots was that I learned to relax.

Knots Landing is the best thing that ever happened to me.

It was like I had a baby and I suddenly started to feel I could play anything.

I used to build up to sensation, accumulating tension until it released a perceptual experience.

It was actually a relief for me to play an actor who was scared, who didn't know where everything was, who didn't know what buttons to push, and for me to be able to play all that.

And when I go to see plays, I marvel at how people can do that. I've done it all my life, but I still find it mystical.

In the end, one has to feel lucky that things fell out O.K. I've felt that all the years I've been writing plays.

When I was a player and hit into a double play, I felt as if I was letting everyone down.

I fell into the theatre because I felt I was doing it well, and I stuck to it for the same reason.
