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.

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.
