Yes, I did some rewrites of the show as some of the stuff was not very good and I worked my butt off to make it something that the audience liked and that I could be proud of.

I have a project at HBO and one at the Family Channel coming that are being looked at. Aside from that I am not doing much more than playing golf and some skiing.

Some writers and producers are currently writing a sitcom for me, so we'll see what happens there. I'm somewhat reluctant to talk about some of the upcoming projects that I'm working on; I've a lot of stuff on the go, including five pictures that I'm looking at producing.

It's more fun having him as everyman in the 25th Century. It is better to concentrate on what this planet will be like 500 years from now, and not be dealing with little aliens in space and all that related stuff.

I'd always wanted the show to be more reality based science fiction, something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which I consider to be the classic science fiction film.

I think people connect better with TV. stars over film stars.

People would say I really loved Buck Rogers until the Hawk guy came on.

I have a superstition about saying too much about what I want to happen, just in case it all disappears, or someone else comes along and beats me to it.

I brought my personality and sense of wonder and I think they wrote as much of my personality as they could. I do not go around kicking butt and saving the universe all the time but they tried to capture me as best as they could in the character.

The show originally started out as a ten hour mini-series. We shot two hours and then were excused for a while, for no apparent reason. Things went very quiet for a time and then a few months later we were called back and told that it was going to be a full season.

I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had over the past 36 years for anything.

Other effects in the show included models of the ships which were extremely expensive to make. We used to do our shots in front of a blue screen and they'd put the effects on after.

No, I was talking to the network and Universal about plans for a third season where Buck would go back to Earth and would focus on stories around the planet and show what it was like 500 years later.

The basic answer is that I wasn't happy or fulfilled by the job I had and I wanted my life to mean something to me, so I searched my life experience and realized that acting and performing were activities that I enjoyed all aspects of.

I liked working with Tom Christopher as he was great as Hawk, and Wilfred Hyde White but I wished it were in a different context as the changes really tuned off the audience.

Then I got the offer to play Buck Rogers, but I turned it down thinking it was a cartoon character. Well I was wrong, it wasn't at all. So I read the script and decided I liked the character, it had a good concept.

Although there were only about 24 episodes made it seems to run forever. They take a couple of episodes and put them together, making a feature film once in a while. I had good fun making the series.

I've now returned to the business again because I finally realised that I really enjoy the creative process.

It is amazing that something I did 23 years ago still has an audience that people respond to and I am touched and surprised that people are still very positive about.

Up to that point I never really knew what my character would be expected to do, and prior to accepting the job I had actually turned down the role three times before finally giving in.

I've just got into the convention circuit in the last couple of years and it's great to see all these people who are still interested in the show. It's so gratifying to hear that so many people enjoyed the work that Erin and I have done.

I'm currently raising a 15 year old son and an 18 year old daughter, which a guess is my punishment for a wild youth!

Prior to that I produced a couple of TV movies for CBS, but the truth of the matter is that I burned out for a couple of years. I didn't do anything for a while, apart from taking up golf, for which I got a four handicap.

I made the character as much of myself as I could.

Being stylish is about enjoying your life and expressing yourself and your inner light.

When I was about ten, I discovered evolution by reading a book by Wilhelm Boelsche and seeing a picture of Archaeopteryx.

The biggest surprise to people is that I sang background on Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' album.

We must let go of the life we had planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Make new friends, but don't forget the old, One is silver, the other is gold.

I want lots of kids and I want a garden and I hope to stay married to my husband. I hope to be working in some way that fulfils me.

Being the Children's Laureate has been educational, sometimes hectic, but most of all, great fun.

When a film company is in the red they come to me. Always it is the same.

Good advice is just watch what you say on Facebook, on Twitter, on social networks because being sued is not fun. Filing a lawsuit is not fun. And being fired and having to do all of those things is not fun. So just avoid it.

Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.

That's still the greatest high, that feeling of being in control of 2,000 people. It's me and them, and I like the odds. It's not even so much the funny. It's getting them quiet. In the quiet moments in '700 Sundays,' I just really love that they're getting moved.

I think all the stuff that happens before the pictures are taken is much more exciting.

I have been benefited by praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them I have gotten something for myself.

Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.

An American of the present day reading his Sunday newspaper in a state of lazy collapse is one of the most perfect symbols of the triumph of quantity over quality that the world has yet seen.

Silicon Valley tends to be very myopic - to be focused on one or two things - which has some strengths as well as weaknesses.

Before a group can enter the open society, it must first close ranks.

By increasing productivity and becoming more competitive, we will be able to offer better opportunities and improve the standard of living for all Mexicans.

Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it.

The Cold War isnt thawing it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isnt sleeping it is as always plotting scheming working fighting.

I did not even go to kindergarten; I just started first grade when I was five and started reading right away. I don't know how it all worked, but I had a lot of adults and older siblings around me. So, I guess I was probably introduced to what one would be introduced to at that time in kindergarten.

I am the young, edgy New Yorker.

Don't let fear rule your life. Live one day at a time, and never be afraid.

Imagination is the bridge between what is and what could be it is everything.
