I was the last one to screen test for The Hardy Boys. I'd like to play that's not as clean-cut as Frank Hardy. I play him as straight as possible

I remember the day I found out my draft status. I was really floored and kind of staggered around in a daze. It just hadn't occurred to me that I could end up in Vietnam

The first two pictures I did, I played a young student in prep school. When I did Lifeguard, everyone was saying, You're so Southern California. It was a surprise to me

I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school, but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

I'm going to go away on vacation, I'm going to try to get away from the phone, away from scripts. I think it's important to sit back and think about what you want

I wanted my children to have the same exposure to the water I had. My strongest memories of Northeast Harbor are going in a small Whaler with my dad, looking for osprey

Bear in mind, children, that they listen to you because you are kids—not because you are right. That's how our Father listens to us.

Everyone has their wings, it just so happens that mine are black.

Those people who are uncomfortable in themselves are disagreeable to others.

I feel like a quote out of context.

I'm a nut, but not just a nut.

I don't take anything too seriously. If I do, I realize pretty quickly that's why I'm uncomfortable.

You have the capacity to change the plotline of your life, even if you've been acting from the same script since before you can remember.

Wit goes for the jugular, not the jocular, and it's the opposite of football; instead of building character, it tears it down.
