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

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.

Suits are looked at more now as a business thing which is kind of a shame. If you're not wearing it just for work, you should try and trick it up a bit.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on.

Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.

And, that's what I truly believe that we're doing when we're advancing scientific knowledge is we're someday making the world better. Not only for our children, but for all people after that.

Plain and simple, Congress must act to meet the needs of our constituents. We can do that by strengthening families, increasing the minimum wage, and ensuring equal pay for equal work.

Jazz in itself is not struggling. That is, the music itself is not struggling... It's the attitude that's in trouble. My plays insist that we should not forget or toss away our history.

'Battlestar' was 22 episodes - 9 to 10 months a year - and we were exhausted. You finish shooting, and the last thing you want to do is go back to work. You want those 3 months off because you're tired - it's a grueling shooting schedule.

I said if I ever conducted, I would always give myself the best chance to succeed - though sometimes, despite everything, you still fail.

My last supper would be a charcuterie smorgasbord with every kind of meat, and sauces to dip them in.

I don't really care about clothes, but it's about wearing something that gives you social confidence.

I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process.

Rehearsals are set up so that you find out all the nuances about your character. You never want to beat yourself up. It's about finding the right direction, and most of the time, the right direction is not what you think is the right direction. That's why the director's there: to guide you there.

Enough is as good as a feast

I use colors to bring fine points of story and character.

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone elses highlight reel.

The will to win the desire to succeed the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

The gracefaithlove and power of God will uplift you to greater heights.

I'm a much better writer for being a father.

I think the hardest thing about my life is that I've met so many people all over the world who I love, but they're not friends with each other.
