They relished those fights; and boy, we could do it! I loved Jane Wyman, she epitomized for me, everything that meant to be professional.
  • [When Tell Me You Love Me (2007) was expecting to be canceled]: But I had no idea that they were going to pull the plug so quickly.
  • I did a lot of personal appearances because I was under contract to ABC.
  • [on his Falcon Crest (1981) character]: Richard Channing is a wonderful character. He was a strong character. He could go out of various situations.
