Daily Inspiration Quote by Lee Majors

"I think I've got one more series in me, and I don't care what it is"

About this Quote

There is something quietly bracing about an actor in his eighties talking like a guy lacing up for pickup ball: not a comeback tour, not a victory lap, just one more go. Lee Majors frames longevity as appetite, not legacy. "One more series" is deliberately modest language in an era of prestige-TV grandiosity. It sidesteps the self-mythologizing that often clings to late-career returns and replaces it with a working actor's pragmatism: a series is steady work, a routine, a place to show up and be useful.

The kicker is the shrug in the second half: "and I don't care what it is". On the surface it's flexibility, even gratitude. Underneath, it's a subtle refusal of the cultural hierarchy that decides what's "worthy" TV. Majors came up when television was less a curated identity statement than a weekly job and a mass medium. He was The Six Million Dollar Man, a face of network-era heroism, built on reliability and repetition. Now, in the streaming age, every project gets sold as a brand and every casting announcement as a discourse event. His indifference punctures that.

There's also mortality in the matter-of-factness. Not despair, not drama: acceptance that time is finite, so the goal isn't perfection, it's participation. The line reads like a veteran insisting on relevance without pleading for it: cast me, don't canonize me.
