- Robert Pastorelli: (why he left "Murphy Brown") The fourth and fifth years were different. It stopped being fun, so I knew I had to move on. If I had stayed, it would have been only for the money, and that's not what acting is all about.

- Robert Pastorelli: You do a show and go home and don't realize the impact you're having. Then one day you're returning Christmas presents at a mall in New Jersey and you hear people behind you talking. You think, 'Oh, yeah. I do that TV thing. Yeah.'
