David Hasselhoff

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

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

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

I think that without sushi there would be no David Hasselhoff, because sushi is like the perfect way of describing the insides of David Hasselhoff. He is like a protein, clean and easy. That's how I feel about myself.

When I was doing 'Britain's Got Talent,' I really enjoyed it, but I found it very difficult to be in the audience. I like to be on stage; I feel safer on stage because I'm in control.

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

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

I feel like Elvis. Only alive.

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

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

I don't care why they love me, as long as they love me. 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.

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