When he realized who he'd pulled over, the policeman shook his head in disbelief. He told me of all people I should know better. He gave me a real dressing down, but let me go.

I consider myself fortunate that I've been able to find a character that people have responded to.

One of the things I had a hard time getting used to when I came to California in '78 was Santa Claus in shorts.

I'm not one of these actors who feels a pressing need to direct, and I have no plans to do it.

For lack of a better term, they've labeled me a sex symbol. It's flattering and it should happen to every bald, overweight guy.

I was so emotional. Choked up. I could hardly talk all day. I'll be cleaning out my trailer and saying goodbye soon, realizing what a wonderful experience this has been.

I'll miss the comments from the people on the street who love the show and who have felt its impact on the culture. I won't miss the shooting schedule, though!
