Patrick Duffy's Quotes

  • I'm one of the lucky actors in television. I don't make a lot of big waves, but there's constant activity, and that's the way I prefer to live my life.
  • [asked if he would write his autobiography] No. I lead a normal life and I don't assume there is anything I can impart to people. The only reason to write a book would be to make money, and I don't want to do that. To write a book would be going against how I've lived.
  • [in 2000] I miss regular television. I miss the work ethic of those five-day-a-week things. So, eventually, I'd like to get back to that.
  • With a new house, you can pick everything. It's the ability to create what you have in your mind as the perfect house.
  • [on being born on St. Patrick's Day] Good luck happens to people who work hard for it. Sometimes people just fall into the honey pot, but I've consistently [striven] to create whatever good fortune I can get in my life--and consistently strive just as hard not to screw it up once I have it! It's great to be able to do shows like Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door (2006), which I think is entirely too long a title.
