Daily Inspiration Quote by Mary Crosby

"I'll miss everyone on Dallas so much, but I have a wonderful career ahead of me. I can feel it"

About this Quote

There is a particular kind of Hollywood goodbye that doubles as a résumé line, and Mary Crosby’s does it with an almost disarming sweetness. “I’ll miss everyone on Dallas so much” performs loyalty in public: a nod to the cast-and-crew family myth that keeps long-running productions emotionally livable and politically smooth. It’s gratitude, but it’s also optics. No burned bridges, no hints of backstage drama, no sour notes for fans who want their off-screen relationships to mirror the on-screen saga.

Then comes the pivot: “but I have a wonderful career ahead of me.” The “but” is the tell. It’s not just mourning an ending; it’s reclaiming agency from a show that can swallow an actor’s identity whole. Dallas was a cultural engine in its era, and being associated with it could be both a golden ticket and a branding trap. Crosby’s line threads that needle: affectionate enough to avoid seeming ungrateful, ambitious enough to avoid sounding stuck.

“I can feel it” is the most revealing phrase because it’s not evidence-based; it’s faith-based. It reads like self-talk said out loud, a charm against the industry’s randomness. That small, intuitive flourish makes the statement human: behind the confident forecast is a performer managing uncertainty in real time, projecting belief because belief is part of the job. The intent isn’t bravado so much as survival: leave warmly, signal momentum, and narrate the future before the business narrates it for you.
