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!

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.

Without feeling abashed by my ignorance, I confess that I am absolutely unable to say. In the absence of an appearance of learning, my answer has at least one merit, that of perfect sincerity.

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

The best compliment to a child or a friend is the feeling you give him that he has been set free to make his own inquiries, to come to conclusions that are right for him, whether or not they coincide with your own.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

I've always wanted to sing, just as I've always known that one day I would have my own niche in the annals of song. It was a feeling I had.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

I love making people laugh. It's an addiction and it's probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there's no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.

On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.

I was as big as I have ever been. I had a personal trainer and was working out. I was feeling good. I was muscular. I had never weighed more than 155 pounds.

Lately, I can't shake the feeling that I've been living a dream for the last 10 years or so; I can't account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.

The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.

Collectively, we must do more than simply watch, with resignation and a feeling of powerlessness, reports on the evening news about the latest terrorist atrocity.

But even if I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling, and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.

They must have a feeling of do or die. It is such an overcrowded profession.

You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.

But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.
