Anybody who has political ambition has an Achilles heel.

You can go lots of places as Gaius Baltar that other people aren't allowed to pursue.

One of my kids keeps on saying that he wants to be a paleontologist, but first he wants to make a time machine, so he can go back and save the dinosaurs.

Jokes are very curious things psychologically.

I think the level of devotion some sci-fi fans display turns other people off.

I was convinced that I was going to be onstage for the rest of my life.

When somebody says, 'Action,' I act. When they say, 'Cut,' that's my job. I've done it.

My Latin education teaches me that religion comes from religio, which means, 'to bind.' To bind with rope. And that's all it means. So whenever I hear somebody go, 'I feel so religious right now!' I'm like, 'Well, you're tying yourself up in knots, are you?'

On a personal note, myself, I find religion - I can understand it, I can understand why we have it, as a kind of force on the planet. And I also at the same time think it's ludicrous.
