"And I have to credit David Jacobs with the opportunities he gave me. He was totally into sharing the creation of characters. David put together a show that told the story of people over many years' time and that was greatly enjoyable. Though nowadays that is frowned upon."

"There's a certain possessiveness of writers sometimes."
Writer
"Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have."

Opinion
"The business is built on slowing or even stopping the aging process."
Business
"It worked well because Don Murray didn't want to be on Knots anymore."
Want
"If you watch Cheers, in 12 years they didn't age a day."
Age

Opera

Care
"David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts, since after all, it's the actors playing the character."
