“If I start something I am going to finish it.”

“I just hate getting old - it's slowing me down.”

“I was hoping I could die of old age in the military, but they wouldnt let me.”

“I was at the Emmys, and someone told me that I'd gotten more applause than Brad Pitt. I said, 'Who's he?'”

“All I do is get up in the morning and go where I'm told to go.”

“Everybody recognizes me, so I can't walk down the street without being stopped.”

“One of the biggest things that hurt me during 'Survivor' was I found out girls can run faster than I can. That really burned me up.”

“I blew a chance at a million dollars.”

“I got out of the Navy in 1990.”

“Joining the service is a great thing. I think everybody should join the service. It is a great life and we do exciting things.”

“I was with much nicer people in the Navy. On Tiga, you had a lesbian, a hippie, a homosexual and this neurologist who shaved his whole body every third day.”

“I was born military. I made up my mind right away, 'Im gong to do this for the rest of my life.'”

“Whatever my agent says to do, I usually do.”

“When they picked the people for 'Survivor,' they wanted 15 fouled-up people and one normal person. I was the normal person, in my opinion. I'd have bet a million bucks I was gonna win.”

“It is a good life. I would do it all over in a minute if I could.”
