John Glover Quotations

We really haven't hit the ball like that all year. It was nice to see us finally break out a little.

We have responded to several grass fires in the last few weeks, but there have been no structure fires. For us, it has been considerably more than we normally run.

Luck has had a great deal to do with my career.

One of the strongest things in the world is the father/son bond, and that's what they are drawing on. It also applies to the whole series because of Clark and that awkward adolescent period we all remember. Even the popular kid feels that and can relate. More and more adults are catching on and say, 'I watch the show and like it'.

Now that I'm on TV, I can't gluttonize as much as I would like. Even the devil has to watch his weight.

I was terrified of being a teacher. To stand in front of a classroom, the responsibility is boggling. Imagine! Standing in front of people!

I graduated from high school in '62 and I didn't know any people who were gay. I'm sure there were people, but I didn't know any. For years and years, I guess, I was very uptight about being a gay actor. I thought it would make me less hirable.

There is a great sense of pride being involved in the task force made up of our neighbors to go out and protect fellow Texans. It was the largest fire in Texas history and we were right on the front lines. It was a good feeling to be able to help and make history.

I think we all have madness in us, it's just that I've realized mine and found a way to let it out.

I think the reason I'm an actor is the joy I find from escaping and going to be somebody else. That's what I have fun doing.

I wonder why I keep playing such intelligent people?

It is difficult to determine the cause of grass fires. There is usually nothing left behind when we get there, like a cigarette or a gas can, for us to determine what started it.

The ammunition delayed the firemen from attacking the fire aggressively. We couldn't get too close and that let the fire get a head start and get away from us.

I would like to be able to be both a film actor and a stage actor - to be an American actor in the style of a lot the English actors who do films. They are these wonderful actors who can do everything.

When I first arrived in Los Angeles I became a little bogged down in the whole success thing. Now I'm at a place in my life and career where I just want to work. It's what I do and it makes me very happy.

We'll have a lot of guys at new positions. That is our biggest need for improvement right now. Pitching and defense. We're going to have to work for it.

There are parts of me that I keep secret even from myself. I have demons and I'd love to be able to healthily look at the demons and still be a wonderful actor and not feel I need them to create.

We wish the Consortium every success in providing this invaluable service.

Welding torches, cutting torches and any activity producing a flame outside is prohibited. Any open flame is discouraged.

The power that an artist can have to move people, I just want to equip myself better with those kind of skills. I see myself as a character actor, not as a leading actor, and in something like ""Time of Your Life,"" I'm being asked to strengthen my chops and take some responsibilities. There's some kind of deepening that needs to be done.

Those two guys are very unique in that they can shuffle in at nine different positions and produce. They're utility guys in the truest sense.

Brimstone was great. That was another occasion when they called me in to do the pilot and it turned into a regular job, which made me quite happy. It was another really good experience and we were all so surprised when they pulled the plug on it.

D.J. threw some great games for us last year, but other than that we're going to be searching a little bit.

There's more depth to Lionel. What I am finding so interesting about playing him is there's all these different layers. I prefer playing Lionel because he's a human being.

They are a playoff team. To win the first game of this series at their place is big.

I've lived in L.A. for almost 15 years now, and I've gotten sucked in a little bit to that success game that's played out there, and I wasn't enjoying my work.

Putting your hands in the earth is very grounding, if you'll excuse the pun.

The old fence was in such bad shape that it was starting to become a safety issue. There were holes in the old chain link. It was just the next project in a long list of improvements we've been wanting to make to the field.

Deep Space Nine was also fun. I was kind of hoping that they would have my character back some time. Here was a guy who felt so inadequate and he turned evil in order to get what he felt he deserved. It was such a fascinating part to play. The cast and crew were incredibly supportive and welcoming to me.

That's it, we're back to square one with pitching again. We don't have many proven guys. We're going to have to find some of these guys to step up and carry some innings for us.

The most devastating thing was the level of tragedy, with the land and burned up livestock. The fire front at one point was 31 miles wide.

It's so much fin to play warped people. I've always enjoyed playing a little warped.

I want to keep - this seems so corny - I want to keep growing as an artist.

I must be one of the luckiest people in the world - I have a profession where I can play dress-up and make-believe, and I wasn't enjoying it.

I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.

In open range fires it is about picking a spot and hoping it is the right location. At the head of the fire you have to worry about wind and humidity and a number of other factors.

I purchased a house a few years ago. I do not want to see a bar in that area. I don't think it's feasible. I have no objections to a restaurant or a coffee house. I think (a bar) is going to take away from my property and make my property values go down.

I guess that's a flaw in my career, that I like to work too much.

He's just a freshman and he's doing a great job for us this year. He's really stepped up big for a young guy.

He sits in that third spot and we do expect him to drive in runs and get some big hits for us.

An artist can go paint, and a writer can go write, but an actor needs to get hired, needs somebody to say, 'Here, come and do this,' That's the hard part.

All the fire was out at that point and we went into the mop up stage to try and salvage the homeowner's stuff and prevent further water and smoke damage.
