I Think My Family's Watched Me Over

More From Ricky Schroder

Truly, the challenges we face are not democratic challenges or republican challenges. in fact, they are not political challenges at all; they are fiscal challenges, and educational challenges, and the challenges of figuring out how to take care of each other...

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.

When a trout rising to a fly gets hoooked on a line and finds himself unable to swim about freeely, he begins with a fight which results in struggles and splashes and sometimes an escape. often, of course, the situation is too tough for him. in the same way the human being struggles with his environment and with the hooks that catch him. sometimes he masters his difficulties; sometimes they are too much for him. his struggles are all that the world sees and it naturally misunderstands them. it is hard for a free fish to understand what is happening to a hooked one.

You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.
Cutting Training Actors
I'm very old-school. i like a director to direct me. i like to be the actor. i'm not particularly fond of the hybrid writer-director, or actor-director. writers, directors, actors are all such very different people. i think it's unusual that two of those people are in one human.

It's not like we have a formula, but i think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. but i don't think people tune in for that. i just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.
Heart Thinking Years
Bountiful is your life, full and complete. or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. that person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. sometimes it can be a child to look after. what matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. all the prophets have given the same advice: find the one who will be your mirror!".
Spiritual Children Thinking
I think sometime we will go to mars and i think we'll explore it with humans sometime, but i think it's really wise to do all the robotic exploration ahead of time and learn as much as possible. once we have learned as much as possible with the robots, then that's the time to send people, and let them then continue the research that the robots have started.
