So many people wanted an adventure. It was really more about finding the cast that I wanted for 'Expedition Impossible,' so it had good diversity, and people could really say, 'Oh, there's the firefighters, there's the team of cops, there's the grandpa' - so that you can really relate with them. ↗

If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it. ↗

The most important thing in acting is honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made. ↗

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible. ↗

I believe, however, that impending events will call us and we must respond but where, with whom, and how? ↗
