# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | [in 1996] But our stories are about real-life, and that's how life is today. We plea bargain all over the place. |
2 | [on his popularity of playing the seventy-something Adam Schiff on Law & Order (1990)] There's a certain positive statement in this show. So much is negative today. The positive must be stated to rescue us from pandemonium. To me, it lies in, that principle: Law & Order. |
3 | I guess it's because what I'm doing in my work today is an accumulation of all the blood, sweat and tears went through in this business. |
4 | I think probably because of all years and time that has gone by, I enjoy my work far more than I ever did before. Certainly more than I did in my early years when it took a lot of effort to do the best job I wanted to do. Now it is more of a joy and much more exciting. |
5 | I felt I had to be brash to make my mark. In this business you don't make out application forms - you have to make an instant impression. I had to do it over and over again before I was finally recognized. |
