Happy Birthday David Hasselhoff!

I feel like Elvis. Only alive.

Wenn man vom Leben niedergeschlagen wird, dann ist es nicht wichtig, dass man am Boden liegt, sondern, dass man schnell wieder auf die Beine kommt.

I think that without sushi there would be no David Hasselhoff, because sushi is like the perfect way of describing the insides of David Hasselhoff. He is like a protein, clean and easy. That's how I feel about myself.

Was ich wirklich am liebsten mache, ist, das Auto zu nehmen und loszufahren. Einfach drauf los. Mir ist auch egal, wo ich gerade bin. So entdecke ich neue Orte.

I wanted to play around with the format, really tear it to pieces and shake it up. For example, if Mitch saves someone from drowning, and that person then goes out and releases a virus that kills a million people. Imagine the moral implications of that.

Immerhin hat mein Song dazu beigetragen, dass die Mauer in Deutschland umgefallen ist.

I think people know that I've got a good heart.

Behandel die Ladies mit Respekt und wenn man das macht, bekommt man auch etwas zurück. So einfach ist das.

If you don't respect me you're not gonna get that respect back.

Es heißt immer, ein Mensch kann etwas ändern. Aber zuerst muss man etwas in seinem eigenen Leben ändern. Wenn man glücklich ist, dann kann man auch andere glücklich machen.

There are many dying children out there whose last wish is to meet me.

I'm six foot four, an all-American guy, and handsome and talented as well!

I think laughter is the best medicine. If you can't laugh at yourself, then you can't laugh at life and the silliness of it all.

Ninety-nine percent of people now call me The Hoff - and it's out of respect.

I grew up in Chicago, and there was always snow. In Los Angeles there never was, so we would always import snow!

When you realize that life isn't fair, you don't act out, you don't get overly wasted, you don't get self-indulgent. You just move forward.

All I want to do is be onstage. A performer needs to perform.

Failure usually works for me in the end.

We made sure nobody died on the show. We made sure nobody ever drowned on 'Baywatch.'

When I play discos in Belfast or freshers' week in Oxford, there are 1,800 kids dressed as me. It's odd, it's funny, and it pays really well.

I don't care why they love me, as long as they love me. I think people respect me because they feel like - I'm kind of like Christmas. I come back every year. You can't get rid of me. I just keep coming back.

I look good, but I probably have the insides of Elvis.
David Hasselhoff
Good, Elvis

I love musical theater. That's what I started off to do when I was 7, and my first show was 'Peter Pan.'

The Hoff has taken over David Hasselhoff. David Hasselhoff really doesn't know who he is anymore. Everywhere I go, it's The Hoff.

Wherever I can go, I hit the water, whether it's the ocean, or in L.A. it's Zuma Beach in Malibu; I just hit the water.

Beyond its entertainment values, 'Baywatch' has enriched and in many cases helped save lives.

I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie.

If you're not in the game, you can't hit a home run.

I have a Guinness Book of World Records entry as the most-watched person on television; now I have a new entry as the only man who has a crab named after him.

In life, you either watch TV or you do TV. I told my daughters that the only way you're going to make it in this business is to get in the game. That's the biggest advice I can give them.
