For a few years, I thought I was putting show business behind me. I was busy doing other things in life, particularly with politics. I was not out looking for films, really. I lost interest.

I would rather do a project that I've invested so much time to, rather than try to get a part on another show.

What I would have liked to do on that show was play a secretary of state who has huge personal business interests throughout the world. That, to me, seems to be more in synch with reality.

I knew what show business was, which was why I didn't want in on that action. I saw what happens! You get it, and then you lose it.

I think the idea of creating a television news source that is not beholden to corporate interests is nirvana.

My goal is for 'The Bill Engvall Show' to be a show the networks look at and say, 'Ooh, maybe we should get back to the family sitcom.'

I'm supposed to be the director of a television company, but I've only ever seen that company as a vehicle for making the kind of programmes we wanted to make, getting our ideas on the screen.

I didn't get here for my acting... but I love show business.

I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.
