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.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

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

It's so much harder to keep your clothes on than take them off in this business. Even in Exotica, they wanted more nudity, but I didn't feel comfortable.

I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.

In England, there are so many TV commercials with nudity in them, and there are so many TV programs that show nudity on a regular basis. It's becoming more of a norm.

Nudity... I have to say I will never do it again.

I'm not doing any more nudity.

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.

At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!

The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing.

Even my parents are so cute, and they deal with every movie of mine excellently. They check with me ever so casually by asking 'Now how much of nudity are we going to see in this one?'

I've done nudity. I'm an exhibitionist. It doesn't matter.

I have no problem with nudity. I can look at myself. I like walking around nude. It doesn't bother me. I see all the people walking around nude; it doesn't bother me.

Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.

My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.

I always thought, because America is supposed to be the land of the free, nudity would be part of the norm over there, but it isn't. It's surprising.

I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.

I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.

I honestly don't understand the big fuss made over nudity and sex in films. It's silly.
