I would have liked the old days.

I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.

People would say I really loved Buck Rogers until the Hawk guy came on.

No, I was talking to the network and Universal about plans for a third season where Buck would go back to Earth and would focus on stories around the planet and show what it was like 500 years later.

I think I was probably a cowboy in a past life.

If I could have picked an era to have lived, I think I would've loved to have been one of Louis XIV's mistresses. They were so fantastic and aristocratic, and they had so much power. And he was such a renaissance man. I think I would've fit into that nicely.

Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen.

Then I got the offer to play Buck Rogers, but I turned it down thinking it was a cartoon character. Well I was wrong, it wasn't at all. So I read the script and decided I liked the character, it had a good concept.

I would not have done much differently, but I would have loved to have done everything better. The truth is, I think I was just getting warmed up when the era ended.
