"The problem is that the people who created the show had no idea
what it was. They didn't understand what the show was because it
became something other than what they intended. The network hated
us; the people in authority were like the military in the show,
trying to control us. We took control of it. We made it
much funnier than it was, and we made it much more
politically incorrect than it was intended to be. All the liberals
in Hollywood hated it; they hated the cigars, the guns,
the bravado and the fact we always thought we were right."
- Dirk Benedict
"I looked at the character and said, 'My God, I could do anything with this part!' It was fun, it was witty, and I laughed out loud when I read it."
