"“I was deeply interested in conveying what is a deeply felt conviction of my own. This is simply to suggest that human beings must involve themselves in the anguish of other human beings. This, I submit to you, is not a political thesis at all. It is"

"I've read plenty of memoirs about famous geniuses, written by their children, but this one touched me the most. Not only do we get insights into the life and mind of a great man, and not only do we further get the "behind the scenes" scoop on his nor"

"A look into the private side of Rod Serling's life as remembered by Anne Serling, his daughter. This might be considered a dual biography, as Anne Serling plays about equal a role in presenting her childhood from her own perspective.

of
As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling:
"Twilight Zone fue formativo desde que estoy en primaria y todavía casi 20 años después lo sigue siendo cada vez que Dani y yo nos sentamos a verla.
me movió mucho leer esta imagen de Rod a través de los ojos de una hija que lo amaba tan profundamente." Read more of this review » |

“The gifts and the lessons my father left me will last forever: Never take yourself too seriously, never miss a chance to laugh long and hard, speak out about political and social issues you believe in, use the written word as often as you can to make yourself and the world a better place, and love your children with all you've got.
My dad's death had a seismic effect on me but so did his life.”
― As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling

“On a deeper level, the film [Seven Days in May] displays several themes that are important to my father throughout his career. Prime among these is not succumbing to fear born of ignorance. In the nuclear age, he seems to be telling us, we can't throw up our hands in helplessness over the enormity of the problem. With the stakes as dire as they are, we must all work positively to change things for the better. I think that is why he believes so firmly in the idea of the United Nations. As in 'Twilight Zone's' "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", my dad is warning us that the greatest threat we face is if a potential enemy uses our fears to get us to start destroying ourselves.”

“We're developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won't be able to think.”

“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth is always subversive.”

“Why do we write?
"To make suffering endurable
To make evil intelligible
To make justice desirable
and . . . to make love possible”

Anne, thank you for your friendship. If it were not for your father, I would have never had the desire to write. I hope wherever he may be, he likes some of my stories.

Thanks Robert. He would have been touched by this.
