Personal Quotes

For all the concern about bodies and weight, "Baywatch" (1989) has three huge catering trucks on the set at all times. One for entrées, one appetizers and one for junk food. It's enough to feed three crews. They'd stick them in our faces, but I had a clause in my contract that said I had to stay within five pounds of 105. It was torture.

I did a scene after a huge rainfall and there was all this crap floating around in the water. We finally found a clear spot and started frolicking in the waves before looking down to see something just below the water. It was a big bloated dead guy. I let the coroner's office remove the body. I wasn't going to try saving that one.

Working out, for me, is sort of a meditation.

I've heard The Demolitionist (1995) described, premise-wise, as "RoboCop (1987) meets The Crow (1994) by way of "La Femme Nikita" (1997)." That, as I see it, could not be more accurate.

I get asked from time to time about who Dylan [her daughter]'s father is, and what's happened to him since her birth. I always explain that her dad isn't anybody in show business--which is to say it's most assuredly not Corey Haim--and that he was truly in love with me, but just not ready to be a parent. Some people in the world are simply that way.

I love meeting "the Odd Man Out" - like fans of "Baywatch" (1989) who regret, as I do, that Tower 12 Productions didn't put nearly as much energy into writing and directing the show as they put into photographing and editing it.
