I really wanted to be the American James Bond when I was starting out in the business. Then I got 'Falcon Crest,' and the film portion of my career took a back seat.

I'm in control of things happening in my aviation career. And I'm not in my acting career.

Every day, I'm working on my aviation career so that I don't have to think about working as an actor.

Wife number four destroyed me absolutely: took me down to the bottom of the barrel because I had three kids with her.

Desire! That's the one secret of every man's career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.

My career is really important to me, but there have to be other great, important things in your life besides work.

A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions, but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.

I believe it's important to put all of your energy into what you're doing rather than doing an office job and trying to muster up energy for music. It's been a real blessing to play music full time.
