David Hasselhoff's Quotes

• [on the cancellation of Baywatch (1989)] The reaction was, "Been there done that. Eleven years is enough. It's not the same show." I wasn't really happy with the direction the show was going.
• Beyond its entertainment value, Baywatch (1989) has enriched and, in many ways, helped save lives. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to continue with a project which has had such significance for so many.
• I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie.
• That's kind of a double-edged sword. My daughter lives in Atlanta and they are allowed to carry guns in their cars. It's like the Wild West there. If there's a gun around, I believe you are going to use it. I think it's really dangerous to have a gun in your house, so I would never, never have a gun in my house.
• [2012, on the possibility of a remake of the Knight Rider series] If you don't make it retro and you don't appeal to the people that love the show, it's not going to be Knight Rider.
