Dirk Benedict

To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.

Be very clear as to what your dream is. Nowadays it is fairly certain that 90 percent of all actors really just want to be rich and famous as the solution to all that ails.

I'm the worst person to ask about how to get noticed. It took me 25 years.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I know they call me a crazy lady, but I'm only interested in making movies and having people see them.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
