"I don't know [if M*A*S*H has made me a better actor], but I know it's made me a better human being. … I think there's a nobility about … what [the show] attempts to do, and there's a nobility about the people who are playing these parts. And the longer we've been together, the more familiar we are with one another, the deeper we've gone … into ourselves, so that when we're playing scenes with one another, it's … the two characters plus the two people who are wearing the clothes … of those characters."
January 1, 1970
