[regarding then competing series "Wonder Woman" (1976)] And as for "Wonder Woman" . . . there`s nothing there . . . nothing to show at all but a "beautiful body", and that`s it. You never get a chance to find out anything about the person at all. What a b...
Lou Ferrigno
(on the simplicity of his acting) I think that came over the years, watching actors I love, wondering what it is about their performance that`s disturbing to me. There`s a series of etchings of a bull that Picasso did. There are like 40 of them, and the f...

They`ve [the Scary Movie series] given me a career but they`ve also sort of boxed me in. What really surprised me when I first moved here is that the industry thought of actors as either comedic or dramatic. And I`m still confused. I understand that maybe...
Anna Faris
On the series finale of "Enterprise" (2001): "These are the Voyages..." was a good episode but not a great finale. They should`ve done a 2-hour, you know, like we did. Then I would`ve gotten double the money--that would`ve been good." (August 20, 2005).
Marina Sirtis

Denise Crosby
Even my agents say, `We don`t know what this business is anymore.` These days, you can do a TV series for five years and all of a sudden be on top of the business. Features don`t even run in theaters very long anymore before going right to television. And...
Tom Berenger
