“I eat meat, poultry and fish in proper proportion - nothing to excess.” — Norman Lloyd

I knew a lot of people who were beaten by the Depression, but there was still a feeling of positiveness among people: everyone thought it's got to get better. We were all trying to get the country back on its feet. There was a feeling that you could do anything, and this was certainly very true in the theater.

You must be active; you must be positive, even if things don't go the way you want them to.

The writing was vastly superior to almost anything that was on the air. It's one of the great shows. It was an important show... 'St. Elsewhere' was one of the great shows in the history of television.

We in New York were very poor in the depths of the Depression - but I must say, that was the best time of my life.
