Alan Hale Jr.

“I'm not a clothes horse. Never have been. And neither was my father.”

“Casual living suits me perfectly.”

“I already have a lovely mistress - Lady Golf. If I go into boating, I'd be two-timing her and I can't do that.”

“I used to be a camera bug with a dark room and all that. But when I started using color film, I gave it all up and found out I still had the creative urge to take raw materials and turn them into something useful and different. So I turned to cooking.”

“The Skipper has become my alter ego. I'm one and the same now.”

“We love our old cars. They're like personalities to us. They perk along with no trouble at all.”

“I'll never be alone in this world.”

“I'm 'Mr. Friendly.'”

“I couldn't go out and play a teacher because everybody watching would say, 'Look that's the Skipper!'”
