[When asked by Howard Stern if he has had oral sex] No! that's not a place for a young woman's face to be.

[on the death of Blanco y negro (1978) co-star Dana Plato] "It's very unfortunate that Dana is no longer with us... she was a wonderful woman, but her death was a welcome, though sad, piece of closure to "Diff'rent Strokes". The possibility of a reunion show no longer exists now... and thank God!"

By 1981, I got tired of the doing the show [Diff'rent Strokes]. I didn't wanna do it anymore. But there was nothing I could do about that, because the contract was already signed. So, I was a little bitter about that because I didn't wanna be there. The character [Arnold Jackson] wasn't growing up, and he wasn't interesting to me anymore.

My parents were as much under the thumb of everyone else [and the network, and all the people that are part of the Hollywood machine] as I was. I have worked on episodes of Blanco y negro (1978) 15 hours straight. And everyone was looking the other way and no one said anything.

When Blanco y negro (1978) got canceled, I was enormously thrilled and was very much looking forward to starting the rest of my life.

I want to escape that legacy of Arnold Jackson. I'm someone more. It would be nice if the world thought of me as something more.

I don't hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.

I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist

I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It's just a matter of whether I'll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I'm willing to beat my head on.

In 2001 interview: I would not give my first 15 years to my worst enemy, And I don't even have a worst enemy.

His first commercial in 1974 for a Chicago bank: You should have a Hubert doll.

[When asked why he is volatile with his friends, especially his wife] No! I don't have a volatile relationship with anybody! If we have our discussion and [most of the time] the men lose, if I lose or if she loses... she goes that way, I go that way.

[on working on Church Ball] Working with the cast was interesting. Many of them were quiet in perspective and kind of inwardly funny not outwardly funny. Some were very serious and dedicated to the craft of movie making. The others were just here to make their characters live and bring a little bit of levity and character development to to the film.

[after filing for bankruptcy in August 1999] I can spread that blame all the way around for this. A lot of people are responsible for my insolvency. From me, to my accountants, to my adoptive parents, to my agents, to my lawyers... and back to me again.

There's no curse on Blanco y negro (1978). When Conrad Bain robs a bank, or if Mary Jo Catlett dies of an overdose, then there's a curse on Blanco y negro (1978).
