Hollywood wants press, any kind of press.

It's only in the United States that they make a big deal about nudity.

I had a lot of coaching for the movie and no, I have never sung professionally before.

You know, I never expected to enter the movie business.

Well, sometimes when you say you want to be like everybody else, you're really saying that you're not.

Hollywood wants press, any kind of press.

I wanted to be a doctor in sports medicine; I was into sailing and all that sort of thing.

Brooke was special in the sense that we grew up together on that island.

Everybody wants to be like everybody else.

I always wondered if I was supposed to be excellent at something or not. I think, because of that, I have a lot of insecurities about myself.

I sat backstage and had a beer with Richard Chamberlain, Paul Newman, and Princess Grace.

I truly, truly believe that I was going in that direction and all of a sudden fate took me and put me here. It's like something else has other plans for me.

Usually I get recognized for The Blue Lagoon or Dallas.

One of my favorite stories is my first kissing scene with Linda Gray.

We also shot at a location that was an Aboriginal sacred ground for the shots coming up the cliff.

I thought that would be kind of cool, to make a bad guy look sympathetic.

I became a very angry person and it was all due to alcoholism.

As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change.

Let me tell you something: if you're on an island for three and a half months and you're four and a half hours by boat from the nearest store, and there's nobody but 30 crew members on the island, I guarantee that you'd be running around without your clothes on.

I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it.

The guy who owned that island was from Oregon and he decided that he wanted to have an Oregon feeling to it, so he planted pine trees all over the place!

Larry Hagman was a huge star, and he was carrying my stuff for me.

Who cares who comes out of the closet or not, so long as you're happy?

I'm really a romantic at heart.

There are times when directors just don't know what they're doing.

I've been a scuba diver since I was 16 and I think that was one of the reasons they chose me.

Brooke might tell a different story, but I've always loved the water.

I'm a very big believer in fate.

I think the United States is way behind the times.

They built these little tanning booths for Brooke and I to do nothing but lay down and tan all over.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film.

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.

I remember having to take detours around the Hollywood sign to avoid having to see this grotesque poster of myself on Sunset Boulevard.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

Everyone is treating it like a Hollywood story. In Madison, it's a neighborhood story.

Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are.

Hollywood is a world all its own.

Silence is the sure sign that you're on your way out in Hollywood.
