Pilot Quotes

One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren’t so apparent from the ground Picture Quote #1

Normally, you cast a pilot, and you have to make compromises about being political about who you cast Picture Quote #1

Every pilot thinks they’re the best pilot in the world. I think I’m the best pilot Picture Quote #1

I directed a half hour comedy pilot, ‘Upgrade,’ and had one of the best times ever! I had such a great time directing; I would love to get to direct another project Picture Quote #1

I did some commercials and a couple of B movies, then a few pilots that didn’t go anywhere. Eventually I did the pilot for Beverly Hills, 90210. The rest is history Picture Quote #1

I was just doing bits and pieces of acting in the U.K. I’d been in the film ‘Breaking and Entering’ - Anthony Minghella gave me my start and I miss him dearly. Then I made the trip out to L.A., during one of their pilot seasons, which was when they were developing ‘Gossip Girl,’ and I auditioned, and things came together Picture Quote #1

I believe in God. I got down on my knees and I said, ‘I get it. If this isn’t for me, then it isn’t for me.’ And then a week later, I started working. I worked on ‘The Following,’ I worked on ‘Elementary,’ I worked on a pilot and then I got ‘Orange.’ So literally from that moment of deep surrender, that’s when you’re blessed Picture Quote #1

Chance will not do the work. Chance sends the breeze; But if the pilot slumber at the helm, The very wind that wafts us tow’rds the port May dash us on the shoals. The steersman’s part Is vigilance, or blow it rough or smooth Picture Quote #1

I did a couple of pilots that didn’t sell, a few movies, and one year of nightclub work, which I hated. Then I did the pilot of ‘The Brady Bunch’ and never had to do another nightclub Picture Quote #1

I think you have to do certain things in the pilot to get your network’s attention - to break through... So maybe you push a little further in the first show Picture Quote #1

The pilot system in television is utterly broken. It’s a huge waste of money Picture Quote #1

In terms of the pilot, you have to introduce a lot of characters in a very short period of time, and you have to paint with slightly broad brush strokes because you just need to give an audience an idea of who these people might be Picture Quote #1

I developed the pilot for ‘Entertainment Tonight’ with Jack Haley, Jr. and Al Masini, who became my business partner in ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,’ ‘Runaway’ and several other shows and specials Picture Quote #1

I used to train with my husband, Anthony Maina, but he is now too busy as a helicopter pilot, so we only run together when I do light jogging. I don’t want to kill him before his next flight! Picture Quote #1

I’m shooting a pilot based on my show. It’s a one-camera show. I play myself Picture Quote #1

The interesting thing for ‘Playing House’ to me is we both are at crossroads in the pilot. We both have our lives kind of upside-down, and then because we’re taking care of each other, we’re able to move forward and live our best lives Picture Quote #1

After ‘Entourage,’ it completely opened up my casting within the industry. People saw me for a lot of roles that I hadn’t been seen for before. Older roles. I went out this pilot season for a lot of lawyers and doctors. And cops - which I haven’t quite mastered yet; I find that quite difficult Picture Quote #1

Being a display pilot is probably the thing I’ve been most proud of in my life. Don’t really fly anymore now though. I have three small children and as most of my friends were killed in different accidents, I realised that it was probably just a matter of time before I went that way Picture Quote #1

Richard Kerry not only was a pilot in World War II, but was a civil servant. He did not come from money Picture Quote #1

I would attack any squadron blockading a port. Nothing could prevent me from dropping out of the clear blue sky on to a battleship with 400 kilos of explosives in the cockpit. Of course it is true that the pilot would be killed, but everything would blow up, and that’s what counts Picture Quote #1

If I were to listen to people all the time when they say, ‘Hey, this is a really high challenge, this is a high climb, the bar is pretty steep,’ then I wouldn’t have gone to the academy. I wouldn’t have become an aircraft carrier pilot. I wouldn’t have become a Navy SEAL for sure. And I probably wouldn’t have applied to Harvard Picture Quote #1

I’m actively looking at pilots in the very limited pilot season that is about to begin. Lots of work for my clothing line which is extremely exciting Picture Quote #1

So many actors started on soap operas. So yeah, I’d graduated Julliard and done some theater. I’ve done a few guest spots on TV but nothing that long-term. I did a little ‘E.R.’ back when it was on, and a pilot for ‘Cold Case.’ Picture Quote #1

There was so long from when we did the pilot and then when the show was eventually picked up by Comedy Central - and, in fact, we had to shoot the pilot twice Picture Quote #1

I’m doing a pilot for Comedy Central with the band Steel Panther. They’re faux heavy metal. They started as kind of a tribute band out here, or a cover band, and they’re funny guys, and they just sort of morphed into their own thing Picture Quote #1

We passed a bill in 1997, signed by Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles, which created a pilot program for a novel experiment called Florida Virtual School. The notion of children using a computer for a classroom and reporting to virtual teachers wasn’t exactly mainstream thinking in those days Picture Quote #1

I was influenced by many, many different people in my student years, and I was always, I guess, immersed in a Navy environment, and so, obviously, that had a big impact when I decided what I wanted to do was go and be a Navy pilot. I was very familiar with the Navy community and felt very comfortable with it Picture Quote #1

It is cool to make a pilot because you get to do all the fun stuff, and then you get to leave when all the tough stuff starts Picture Quote #1

I got the pilot for ‘Scrubs’ sent to me, and in the margin for Dr. Cox, it said ‘a John McGinley type.’ So when I went in to audition, I said to Billy Lawrence, who’s a dear friend of mine, I said, ‘Well, I’m John McGinley.’ Picture Quote #1
