Rod Serling Quotes

I’m frequently surprised, sometimes bugged off, and sometimes happy, depending on the actor. It’s a fact of life that just as often as not an actor can breathe life into a line as he can destroy it by misinterpretation, and I’ve been blessed frequently by having good actors Picture Quote #1

There’s a marvelous and unique man named Frank Gilroy. He’s the only writer I know who absolutely, pointedly refuses to do any changes that he doesn’t feel are absolutely essential and totally in keeping with his own view and perspective. But not too many writers are that independent and that strong-willed Picture Quote #1

I have compromised down the line. I’ve disliked it intensely in the old days when you were trying to talk race relations and they would not allow you to talk about the legitimacies of race relations. In the old days, you didn’t talk about black, you talked about Eskimo or American Indian, and the American Indian was assumed not to be a problem area Picture Quote #1

The major difference frequently is in time. The motion picture, for example, gives you considerably more freedom of expression than does the confined thirty-minute television show. But in essence, they’re not that dissimilar Picture Quote #1

If the producer doesn’t like you, consequently he reads the script with a very negative view. But I wouldn’t preoccupy myself with that, I don’t give a damn. You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and whatall Picture Quote #1

It’s part of the business of really not caring about topping myself because I really don’t care what’s going to happen. I think just surviving is a major thing. I’d like to write something that my peers, my colleagues, my fellow writers would find a source of respect Picture Quote #1

Up there, up there in the vastness of space, in the void that is sky, up there is an enemy known as isolation. It sits there in the stars waiting, waiting with the patience of eons, forever waiting in the Twilight Zone Picture Quote #1

Writers, like most human beings, are adaptable creatures. They can learn to accept subordination without growing fond of it. No writer can forever stand in the wings and watch other people take the curtain calls while his own contributions get lost in the shuffle Picture Quote #1

We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think Picture Quote #1

Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible Picture Quote #1

For the record, suspicion can kill, and prejudice can destroy. And a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own, for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in reincarnation. That’s a cop-out, I know. I don’t really want to be reincarnated Picture Quote #1

I don’t have close relationships with agents. They’re friends, but they’re not confidants Picture Quote #1

Ideas are born from what is smelled, heard, seen, experienced, felt, emotionalized Picture Quote #1

I guess we all have a little vaunting itch for immortality, I guess that must be it Picture Quote #1

Now death is with us in such abundance and hovers over us in so massive a form that we don’t have time to invent a mythology, nor is our creativity directed toward same. Now it’s to prevent death Picture Quote #1

According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the Earth. It is man’s prerogative - and woman’s - to create their own particular and private hell Picture Quote #1

I’m afraid that if I started to ponder who I am and what I am, I might not like what I find Picture Quote #1

I’d rather go along with this sense of illusion that I’m a neutral beast going along through life doing everything that’s preordained Picture Quote #1

I remember the first sale I made was a hundred and fifty dollars for a radio script, and, as poor as I was, I didn’t cash the check for three months. I kept showing it to people Picture Quote #1

I’m sufficiently independent to know that I can live well and comfortably all the rest of my life whether I’m rejected or not Picture Quote #1

You can become much more independent, much more courageous with a bank account. And also, much more independent and self-reliant when you know you have money behind you Picture Quote #1

I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence Picture Quote #1

I don’t have close relationships with agents. They’re friends, but they’re not confidants Picture Quote #1

The good agent probably is not the reader, he’s just the guy who can put together a deal Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what my friends do. Generally they become producers. That way they can stop writing! Picture Quote #1

There are millions of ways to not be writing. You say you’re not in the mood, you’ll pick it up tomorrow Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it’s man’s function to write. I don’t think it’s a normal thing like teeth-brushing and going to the bathroom. It’s a supered position on the animal Picture Quote #1

Why do I write? I guess that’s been asked of every writer. I don’t know. It isn’t any massive compulsion Picture Quote #1

Being like everybody is the same as being nobody Picture Quote #1
