I embrace everything.

I feel like Elvis. Only alive.

I've got taste, it's inbred in me.

I let people down easy with inspiration.

Failure usually works for me in the end.

I think people know that I've got a good heart.

If you stand still long enough, you'll get stuck.

Spirituality - prayer - is a big part of my life.

I started training for musicals since I was a boy.

The problem with me is that nothing embarrasses me.

If you're not in the game, you can't hit a home run.

I look good, but I probably have the insides of Elvis.

My wife is the dancer, but I certainly know how to sing.

Celebrity means that I can affect people in a positive way.

Before long, I'll have my own channel - I'll be like Barney.

All I want to do is be onstage. A performer needs to perform.

The talent that I was blessed with was really for the theater.

If you don't respect me you're not gonna get that respect back.

When you're on stage, you're in control. No one can get to you.

There are many dying children out there whose last wish is to meet me.

My one ambition was to go to Broadway, and I never gave up on that dream.

Image is what people perceive my life to be. It's nothing like the truth.

I'm six foot four, an all-American guy, and handsome and talented as well!

Over in the UK and in Wales, it's nice to turn on the TV and see Baywatch.

Over in the UK and in Wales, it's nice to turn on the TV and see 'Baywatch.'

Ninety-nine percent of people now call me The Hoff - and it's out of respect.

I met Cary Grant once, and I was absolutely star struck. I got his autograph.

In a cornball way, I think being a celebrity is about making a difference, too.

I once didn't work out for six weeks. It took me for ever to get the weight off.

I'm a cheesy over-the-top megalomaniac with a deep voice and the most amazing pecs.

We made sure nobody died on the show. We made sure nobody ever drowned on 'Baywatch.'

In case you haven't caught the commercials, I'm in the new SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

My problem is people seem to laugh at me, but the one that laughs harder than anybody is me.

Beyond its entertainment values, 'Baywatch' has enriched and in many cases helped save lives.

I did, I'd say, at least about 80 percent of the rest of the driving, and I had the time of my life.

I love musical theater. That's what I started off to do when I was 7, and my first show was 'Peter Pan.'

And sometimes the hardest thing you can do is walk away. But you got to. And, when you do, it changes your life.

I grew up in Chicago, and there was always snow. In Los Angeles there never was, so we would always import snow!

I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie.

That's one of the good things about being recognisable - if you need a quick escape, the cabbies will take care of you.

Wherever I can go, I hit the water, whether it's the ocean, or in L.A. it's Zuma Beach in Malibu; I just hit the water.

I think laughter is the best medicine. If you can't laugh at yourself, then you can't laugh at life and the silliness of it all.

The Hoff has taken over David Hasselhoff. David Hasselhoff really doesn't know who he is anymore. Everywhere I go, it's The Hoff.

I've already lived the lives of ten people. My father's 87 and still going strong. I think there's a lovely angel watching over me.

When you realize that life isn't fair, you don't act out, you don't get overly wasted, you don't get self-indulgent. You just move forward.

When I play discos in Belfast or freshers' week in Oxford, there are 1,800 kids dressed as me. It's odd, it's funny, and it pays really well.

I think people respect me because they feel like - I'm kind of like Christmas. I come back every year. You can't get rid of me. I just keep coming back.

My Christmas wish would be to have an entire week off. To spend it with my family and just curl up and watch Christmas movies when it's snowing outside.

The first time I went to Wales I thought I'd landed in a land of hobbits. Everybody was really small and the houses were small and the writing was backwards.

I have a Guinness Book of World Records entry as the most-watched person on television; now I have a new entry as the only man who has a crab named after him.
