I'm not getting an Emmy.

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

Join the military, there is nothing better. You get to travel a lot.

'Survivor' was not fixed. There's no way to fix 'Survivor.'

My word is my word, and my word is good.

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

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

I got out of the Navy in 1990.

Actually, I can take a roller coaster or leave it.

I'm not much at saying patriotic things.

I was never destined to be a movie star, and I'm happy not being one.

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

The best life in the world. 'Survivor' was nothing compared to what I did, and it's just that way.

I blew a chance at a million dollars.

I have done a lot greater things than 'Survivor.' Going through SEAL training was much harder than 'Survivor.'

If I start something I am going to finish it.

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

Ain't nobody more famous than me. I am my own hero and everything else. If you are a SEAL you can say that.

I got an action figure. You know, like G.I. Joe. What I seen of it, they got to put a little gray in the hair.

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.

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.

I took charge of the rice when I got on 'Survivor.' I said, 'I'll take charge of this and it'll last till the end.' And it did.

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 hang around military guys and like it.

Well, I think one of the big things wrong with kids these days, a lot of them don't have a family. A lot of them got one parent and there's quite a few that don't have any parents and that's where the whole problem is. There's no family life, no father to slap 'em around when they need it.
