After 'Four Feathers,' I quit then because I just lost faith. I didn't like how the business was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I actually quit the business. I went and drove a truck for a year and a half.
I quit it because at the end of seven years in an ensemble show with one leader, I thought: 'I will be known as 'Dallas' starring Larry Hagman and the cast.' And at this point in my career - I was in my mid to late 30s - I thought, 'Now is the time when it's hottest for me to go out and establish my thing.'
I quit politics because I hated it.
I quit being afraid when my first venture failed and the sky didn't fall down.
Before I got in this business I was in the chicken business.
I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.
I can't tell you how many times I quit only to realize that when the work has been your life, you don't really have a life without it.
I quit my job just to quit. I didn't quit my job to write fiction. I just didn't want to work anymore.
My motto is, 'Never quit.'
I see no reason to quit. I can't imagine walking away from being Big Bird. I mean, that's an awfully good job that there's not too many of them. So I just want to keep doing it till I can't do it anymore.
