Max Gail's Quotes
- So I got into social and environmental justice possibilities. It started as local access places before we had computers in our pockets. I started LAP (LAP.org); it became about dialogue and getting people to work together - a dialogue is a conversation with a center instead of sides
- When I sidestepped into acting in San Francisco, which was for me a great time of connecting to my innermost feelings, I was more of a science geek, an economics guy. But even as I was exploring Carl Jung and psychiatry, it was acting that opened my interior and sensibilities. I started writing songs. It wasn't like, "Oh, I'm going to write a song at this time," it was more like rhymes would come to me easily.
- I learned how good the actors on soaps are, you know, to work at the speed they do, but also that a story can unfold over a period of time, and so that was a draw because, you know, it's touched my life in some ways.
- [on why he built his Malibu Point home with circles, arches, and no straight lines] The circle is really the central metaphor of spirituality.
- [on his return to television after the death of his first wife] When I came back, I did a show with Frank Zappa's two older kids, Moon and Dweezil. They were cool, I loved the Zappas, but the show itself, I mean the network was clueless as to what it was about these guys that made it an interesting show. They just thought that Dweezil was another Kirk Cameron and Moon was somehow along for the ride. And so I just, I just kinda dropped out of all that, and then got into Mosaic and those possibilities.
