[Why she liked the pilot script for "Veronica Mars" (2004)] "I loved Veronica right off the bat. She was so strong and I think it is so important because there are so few shows that portray women, especially young women as being strong and being able to s...

Top Gun is no different from Pirates of the Caribbean - in fact they`re very similar because both movies were working in genres that were dead. Fighter pilot movies had all failed and pirate movies had been dead for a long time. We approached them from a ...

God, I hate LA. It`s an evil place. So uncreative. You can`t walk anywhere, that`s what really gets me. I lived there for eight months. It`s something that you`ve really got to do when you`re starting out. You join the scrum of pilot season. Even as an un...

The ["Scrubs" (2001)] pilot script`s notes described the character as a John C. McGinley-type. Now, I don`t know what that type is, but I said, "Well, you`ve got him." I still had to audition five times for the network.

I am the best bodyguard, because I`ll take a bullet, I`ll take a stab wound, I`ll take a hit upside the head; I`m like a Kamikaze pilot; The President got shot because his men relaxed. - Mr. T, in Sept. 1983 issue of Playboy
Mr. T
I was only eleven when we filmed the pilot. I didn`t really expect anything to come out of it. I mean, the idea of a rapper being a star on a sitcom just wasn`t heard of. (On the Fresh Prince of Bel Air)
Tatyana Ali
When I read the pilot [for "Married with Children" (1987)], it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe...just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He`d come home from work, and the wife would maybe say, `I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway`. And he would ...

I thought, I`ve never been the lead before. They`re gonna hire somebody else. But I knew I could do it. I have small amounts of Mr. Soprano in me. I was 35, a lunatic, a madman. - on his reaction to "The Sopranos" pilot script.
James Gandolfini
When it first started, I didn`t think that I would survive beyond the pilot. I did not unpack; I didn`t see the point. I thought the producers would come to their senses and realize they`d made a grave error in casting me. I was certain that I`d be on my ...

[On life before Wonder Woman]: "To tell you the truth, I couldn`t pay my next month`s rent when I got the part. I was thrilled to have a pilot of my own."
Lynda Carter
When I first opened the script and read the pilot, I was laughing out loud. I just hadn`t seen anything on the air like it and I wanted to be a part of it. - on Scrubs
Sarah Chalke
[On receiving the script for "The Incredible Hulk" (1978) pilot] I didn`t even like the title. I wanted to make fun of it because of its name. I told my agent, "You`ve got to be kidding!" when he suggested I might be interested in it. He said, "Read it!" ...
Bill Bixby
I agreed to write the pilot because I thought it would just go away, but it became this huge hit and I remember waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning in a cold sweat, dripping wet. I mean, I was drenched. I just pictured my tombstone and it said: `Paul Haggi...

I`m of two minds about the NAACP, I`ll be brutally honest. When I was writing for Sinbad and Roc Live, I remember the pilot for Martin coming on, and a year later, the NAACP giving him an Image Award. a few years later, Martin was under fire for being "co...

When a test pilot comes off a flight, there is typically another pilot who is going to take it up, and he believes in the debriefing. You don`t keep something to yourself.

What they did was to make a pilot and it may well go to series at the next festival but I don`t have any news on that. It`s already been on Paramount actually, but as it`s on Paramount it`ll probably be on several more times... hopefully.

We`re just into toys, whether it`s motorcycles or race cars or computers. I`ve got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I`ve got the world`s smallest phone Maybe it`s just because I`m still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?
Catherine Bell
We`re doing a pilot right now for UPN, which hopefully we`re going to be picked up on. It`s based on us in a sense. It`s kind of the like the odd couple - [Lance] is the clean-cut Mississippi boy and I`m the dirty New York kind of kid.
Joey Fatone
We wanted to test whether quizzes encouraged greater memory retention over review. We found that the groups had no statistical differences, meaning that quizzes were not a harmful activity. That`s an interesting finding for this pilot study. It suggests t...
