- David Ogden Stiers: The simple fact of it is, in the British tradition, you're an actor who happens to be in a film or on television or on the stage. In America, annoyingly, you're identified as a film actor or a TV actor or a whatever actor. Early in my career, I decided to stop paying attention to the labels.

- David Ogden Stiers: (on what is your favorite piece of music)The one I'm studying. It sounds like such a cop out and I don't mean it to but whatever's next, whatever really stunning piece of music I get to approach next and hammer the secrets out of, of structure, choice, contrast, architecture, melodic structure. It's one of the most thrilling pieces of detective work I know.

- David Ogden Stiers: I really like science fiction because it tells terrific human stories in a frame work that keeps you visually excited and challenged and lets you recognize the commonality of the characters in the piece with… with you and people you know in the here and now.
