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.

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.

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

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.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

There is always a type of man who says he loves his fellow men, and expects to make a living at it.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.

The association promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in any prior decisions.

Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul 'prays in us with unspeakable groanings'.

It seems difficult, sometimes, to believe that there was a time when sentiments now become habitual, sentiments that imply not only the original imperative of conduct, but the original metaphysic of living, were by no means altogether habitual.

Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.

Being a father, well, I don't know if this is a change, but it makes me want to get out of here faster. Get off the clock. Just 'cause the baby is my reason for living, my reason for coming to work.
