Ned Beatty - biography

“I’m blessed with eight children - though I’m talking about eight adults now.”

“I want to see the writers strike because the writers, god bless them, are the only true commies we have in Hollywood.”

“I’ll tell you what I would do in a shot if I could.  I would sing in the barbershop quartet in The Music Man.”

“I’m getting grumpier all the time.”

“I only really work when I want to.”

“I was born just barely south of the Mason Dixon line.”

“I’m a perfect example of the grumpy, old man.  I’m really good at it.”

“I’ve had this problem since I was in my 20s.  They don’t call it manic depression anymore.  They call it a bipolar disorder, and I’m a Type 2.”

“It always impresses me when a person of small stature has command.”
