Don Johnson's quotes
- Television actors are bigger than movie actors these days. More people see them, more people recognize them; the salaries in television are rivaling those in feature films.
- [interviewed on the "Ron and Ron" radio talk show] I can do whatever I want - I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm bigger than you.
- I'm better than [Robert De Niro], I'm better than [Al Pacino]. I've got the talent, they've got the material.
- I like to have really fine things. I have a great appreciation for fine art, fine homes, fine wine, fine cigars and fine friends.
- Anybody, any actor, any director, will tell you that the hardest job in show business is doing a weekly series, because you work 16, 14, 15 hours a day, five days a week.
- [on landing Miami Vice (1984)] For anybody, let alone someone coming from Missouri, and someone with absolutely no contacts or no understanding of the business, I was very lucky.
- Let me just say, I've seen a pub or two, and I sure knew the definition of the word "party".
- I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.
- I was a little, skinny, runt kid, and I decided that bowling was what I was going to do in life.
- People in the business will stay with you through drugs and alcohol and divorces and insanity and everything else, but you have a failure, pal, and they don't want to know nothing about you!
- Even though some of the films I've made haven't been particularly commercial, I don't find them failures.
- [on the forgotten veterans] Now is the time to make a firm statement to show solidarity in support of our fighting men and women... past, present and future. My reverence for their courage and sense of duty is profound...
- I was a pariah when it came to television - I'd made five pilots or six pilots and none of them had sold.
- Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That's not something that I respond well to.
- I was very lucky with my first album. It did very well. The second one was kind of "uhhh". But that happens.
- [on Nash Bridges (1996)] I'm walking a different kind of line with this show. I want the tone of it to be something we can enjoy, something we can laugh with, and at the same time, I want it to be about the people - their heart, their feelings.
- It's a great thing for an actor, who loves to do what he does, just to get a job!
- The thing about the violence on television is, there's a good deal of it that's irresponsible.
- There's a long, long list of well-known drunks and drug addicts in the business who work regularly.
- This is my problem: I do too many things at the same time.
- [on his sudden success with Miami Vice (1984)] You're in this constant state of flux and transition, as if you had jet lag all the time. The acting part of it is easy. It's all the other things that come with it that are a bit difficult.
- I would think that anybody who was going to do a Miami Vice (2006) movie would at some point have to deal with "the Don Johnson factor".
