James MacArthur's Quotes
- Among certain stratas of the population, there could be a backlash, but I don't think that actors getting into the political arena affects their careers. Just because one's an actor doesn't mean we should be penalized because we have a broader forum due to the nature of our business. Besides, I'm not so sure how much influence actors really have. And anyone who votes for a candidate solely on the advice of his favorite actor isn't too bright in my book. [discussing Hollywood's involvement with politics in the October 1980 issue of Boxoffice magazine]
- [on leaving Hawaii Five-O (1968)] I grew bored. The stories became more bland and predictable, and presented less and less challenge to me as an actor.
- I don't look like Danno any more with my white hair. There's such a difference. My God, it was 35 years ago.
