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

I got my first tattoo when I was 19. The one on my shoulder is an eagle. I'd go to the beach, and I'd take off my shirt, and I'd almost feel self-conscious because nobody out there had tattoos except my buddies, the guys who rode motorcycles. American-made bikes, mainly.

I love my son. He's a great soul. He's a sweet person, but events that have happened to him in his life, some of his own making - as a parent ,you really can't take full responsibility for the destruction that can happen to a child.

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.

You go and find work wherever it is, and you learn from it. No matter what the experience is, you can always file something away as knowledge.

There are so many cameras. There is so much instant media attention, not just for celebrities, but for normal people that get thrust in the reality world.


I'm proud of my Latin American heritage.

Sometimes you have to re-invent yourself in this business in order to be accepted in different roles.

The most important thing I learned from Dad about show business was never take myself seriously and never stop having fun with my craft.

A relationship takes two people to make or break it.

Both my parents were huge stars. I would never have attempted to become as big of stars as they were because they lived in a different era.
