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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing.

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 promise, when you always expect the worst, you will not be disappointed.

I became a writer, a teller of tales, because otherwise I would have died... or worse.

I grew up among strong women so I know what it's like to be loved and humiliated in a heartbeat.

I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress.

I notice that most of the men who tease me about my hair, don't have any.

There is no one way to Happiness. Happiness is the way! It's inside your head FIRST and everyplace else second

I'm Jewish and I can sing and I'm alive.

Repetition makes us feel secure and variation makes us feel free.

I want to be in shape.

I really do like listening to stuff that's happened to other people. I guess that's why I like to read.
