Daily Inspiration Quote by Dwight Schultz

Schultz is describing a posture that feels almost quaint in an era of instant fandom: desire, tempered by standards. By aligning himself with the TV show UFO, he frames belief not as a badge of identity but as a kind of disciplined longing. The key move is the double insistence of “I want”: he’s honest about the emotional pull of the extraordinary, while refusing to let that pull become a substitute for evidence. It’s a stance designed to keep you from rolling your eyes at “believers” and from sneering at “skeptics,” because it borrows something from both camps.

The line “It’s not an advocacy” is doing reputational work. As an actor talking about a fringe-adjacent topic, Schultz signals he’s not selling a cause, chasing conspiratorial clout, or auditioning for the role of True Believer. He’s protecting credibility while still granting the subject its imaginative charge. That’s the subtext: it’s safe to be fascinated, as long as you’re not gullible.

Culturally, this sits in the long tail of late-20th-century UFO entertainment, when paranormal curiosity was mainstream enough to be fun, but still socially risky enough to require disclaimers. Schultz’s phrasing mirrors the audience’s best self-image: open-minded, but not easily played. He’s pitching wonder with guardrails, and it works because it treats proof not as a buzzkill, but as the thing that would make belief worth having.
