Do you know what our suicide rate would be if we didn't have television? Do you know how much happiness I've brought to people who couldn't get out of the house but could watch Love Boat?

I love my wife, she deserves anything and everything.

I think there are two ways to depict a family. One is what it's really like, and one is what the audience would like it to be. Between you and me, I think the second one is what I would prefer.

When we did 'Dynasty', it was the clothes. I think the clothes affected every woman around the world. I got so many letters, I think we made the designer a millionaire!

It's OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can't kiss another person because he's a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I'm from Dallas, Texas.

It's so silly not to be nice.

I don't travel by airplane. I mean that because when my wife, my kids and I travel on trains or boats, we meet a lot of people and we talk to them.

But it's true, when you see some television, you carry it with you. It's like 90210. Tell me what young shows were being done then... We were thrilled about the ratings around the world.

You know what shows today are missing? Stars.

You can't predict a show, that is the damndest thing, you can't predict if a show is going to work or not until it's on the air.

One thing my wife says is bad about me is that I still care too much.

If you have never found yourself, the best place to look is in your loneliness, and rock-bottom is even better.

True love stories never have endings.

I'm basically a country person.

The use of talent is far more important than the possession of talent.

I would love to produce a film. I have written a script and am in the process of writing another, so maybe it will happen down the road. I would love to do a film in Africa.

Talent is a question of quantity. Talent does not write one page; it writes three hundred.

At the same time, Republicans are pushing a $70 billion tax package that will overwhelmingly benefit the most wealthy Americans and actually increases the deficit by $16 billion.

Being pro-life is a basic perspective of everything I do.

I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.

I was the first person to come into New York with a Latin American point of view which was also very much influenced by political happenings in Latin America.
