I just sold a farm in Missouri, and I own a ski lodge in Colorado with some Honolulu partners.

A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs.

Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we'd never hoped for!

Beating the drums for Hawaii is not hard to do... the place just grows on you.

And after four years, I thoroughly enjoy Hawaii and the success of the show.

Who knows what kind of life I might have had had I not been fortunate enough to have the parents I've had.

But I found out that bones with flesh are more interesting than bones without.

In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients - timing, chemistry, Hawaii.

Nobody really knows what makes a hit TV show.

Frankly - and believe me, I say this without any pretense - when I see the road I've taken, I have to say that thanks to good luck, because without good luck one can do nothing, I've come out pretty well.

They all went down in droves because just scenes of palm trees and beaches can get pretty boring.

If the woman in my life, the one that I felt I loved enough to want to marry, loved my children, I'd know then that her love for me was deeper than I could hope for.

It was an hour of sanity with the good guys winning, a situation where the world was right side up.

Some people say Hawaii is spoiled, but I don't think so. It's modern. It's a part of today's world.

I had accumulated some capital and was at an age at which I was interested in generating income. But even though I was risk averse, I was interested in growth stocks.

I am happy to have now as Danny finally a more difficult role, in which I can shoot and fight.

My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing.

We were living in a tumultuous time, when the world was upside down. Freeman produced a show that was black and white, the good guys versus the bad guys.

When the major studios flourished many years ago, an actor was groomed, developed, and worked frequently at his craft. The studios really took care of their actors.

I thought even if the show only lasted a year, it would be fun.

But it's hard to sustain a successful acting career today.

I give a percentage of the earnings to the Motion Picture Home.

For years I have played the twenty-something lover.

I got into the acting business very young.

My idea of going to hell is going somewhere where there are no books.

The first year we actually did a lot of night shooting and the writers weren't even allowed on location.

Fortunately, I've also been an electrician, and that's a happy memory for me.

It's sometimes unnerving to think of that, and I wish it were possible for all children in the world to have the good fortune I've had in having a giving and loving family.

And I had an old-fashioned idea that dividends were a good thing.

Once you're a winner, you can give all sorts of reasons why you're a winner. Of course, you could all those same reasons to explain why a show fails.

Actually, if I could find a woman who was that wonderful; that understanding, well, I'd give her everything in the world that was in my power to give. And, I'd love her more than I ever thought it possible to love any woman.

You should hear the guy who dubs me in Japan. I like him the most. He has a high squeaky voice.

Walt Disney was not a merchant of sadness.

You know, as I do, actors who, having become worldwide celebrities thanks to a TV series, complain of their lot and declare themselves ready to drop it all.

I don't think anyone connected with Five-O believed the show would last as long as it did.

Some people say hawaii is spoiled but I dont think so. Its modern. Its a part of todays world.

I have some close friends I keep in touch with. I knit. I watch a little too much TV. I ski, if the weather's right for that. If I can find a group of buddies, I go rock climbing.

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, Robert Lincoln bought a nice ski lodge.

Ski racing, especially downhill, is a dangerous activity and there are many accidents. It would be really too bad to lose everything because of a crash.

I remember feeling that technology was like trying to draw with your foot. In a ski boot. It was the most indirect way to work imaginable, but the potential had us all excited. I started in stop motion.

I'd be nervous about skiing, wondering what I'd do if I felt shaky on top of a mountain; but other diabetics do ski, so there's no reason I couldn't.

It's good to ski for fun, but I still want to win races as often as possible.

As the time goes by, you change, your learn new things, your attitude is different. For the moment, I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career.

Switzerland is a place where they don't like to fight, so they get people to do their fighting for them while they ski and eat chocolate.

The best indication is that I still love to ski on most anything, from skating gear to heavy metal.

There is no pressure on me, I can take a lot of risks in the coming weeks. I feel free to ski the way I decide on race-day because the overall title was not my main target this winter.

I don't look at it like that's my rival and I have to beat her. It's more like, I have to ski this as fast as I can and the fastest of everyone out here and that's what I expect.

I donate money to the existing foundation that funds the US Ski Team kids.
