Tom Selleck Quotes

• I was offered Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992), with Marlon Brando, who in my generation was the Man. I said I’d only do it if Brando was in it. But when I got on set, instead of seven scenes with Brando, there was only one and he didn’t speak. I tried to quit, but I was warned I’d be sued. It was a horrible movie! Gene Siskel reviewed my hair. I realized that wanting to act with someone, even Brando, was a bad reason to take a role.
• Unless you treat failure as part of the journey, you’re never going to get anywhere.
• [About his parents]: I could go into analysis for 20 years and not blame them for anything.
• [explaining why he refused a cameo in the film adaptation Magnum P.I. of his TV series Magnum, P.I. (1980)] I tell you what worries me — because I love “Magnum” and we have loyal fans — is they take these TV show titles, and they buy them and they spend $100 million on special effects, and then they make fun of them and trivialize it. Then they try and get the actor who used to be in it to do some ridiculous cameo to prove to the audience that it’s OK. And I will not do that.
• There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a mustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn’t really much confusion.
• Popularity is the pocket change of history. The true measure is courage. There will never be another Charlton Heston.
• [About Charlton Heston] If a guy as good and decent with as much grace as Chuck Heston can stand up for an issue that I think is very important … then I certainly could stand up and I plan on remaining a life member for life.
• It’s not that conservatives don’t care. We do. We just have different answers than liberals do. It’s a difference of the mind, not of the heart.
• I don’t know if my political opinions ever lost me work, but I know for sure they never got me any.
• I just really want people to see this movie and I hope they like it, because to me Monte Walsh (2003) probably reflects my sensibilities more than any other I’ve done in the Western genre. I’m really proud of it and I think it may be the best role I’ve ever had.
• [interview with Taylor Fogarty of American Western Magazine/ReadTheWest.com, 1/93] All I see is people out there who are hungry for more [movie westerns].
• [interview in American Western Magazine, 1/01] Why westerns get segregated into a genre in Hollywood, I don’t know . . . It’s just good entertainment.
• [televised interview broadcast the day before Laguna Heat (1987) was shown on N.Y. cable TV] I was planning to go into Architecture. But when I arrived [to sign up for courses], “Architecture” was filled up. “Acting” was right next to it. So I signed up for Acting instead.

Five years later, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported that Republicans were urging Selleck to run for the Senate in California – a story Selleck quickly shot down. His political profile has been low ever since. However, in 1999 he filmed an advertisement for the National Rifle Association. “He’s not a Republican,” says an actor who knows him. “He’s an independent.”.
• Magnum, P.I. (1980) named the the number one detective series of all time by “The Sleuth” TV Network.
• Member of the conservative Wednesday Morning Club in Hollywood.

• Was asked to star opposite Julie Andrews in Victor Victoria (1982) but hesitated, and by the time he decided he wanted the part, he was already locked into his Magnum, P.I. (1980) contract – the very same contract that cost him the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
• The decision of choosing the leading role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) or Magnum, P.I. (1980) actually haunted Selleck so much that he consulted his best friend. Together they came to the conclusion that honoring his contract with Magnum, P.I. (1980) was the honorable thing to do. It turned out that the shooting of the pilot for Magnum, P.I. (1980) was delayed for over 6 months, which would have enabled Selleck to complete the role of Indiana Jones. Ironically, while waiting in Hawaii for Magnum, P.I. (1980) to commence filming, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were also in Hawaii to shoot scenes for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
• In 2001, he appeared in the Broadway show “A Thousand Clowns” without a mustache, a rarity for Selleck. Unfortunately, the show was forced to close early due to 9/11.
• During the brief run of the late night The Chevy Chase Show (1993) on Fox, he guest-starred and, as a gag, asked to be presented his 1993 Worst Supporting Actor “Razzie” award for his performance as “King Ferdinand of Spain” in Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992). When the Razzie was actually presented to him on the air, Selleck took it in stride and asked the entire studio audience to “blow me a raspberry”. Selleck thus became the third person in Razzie history to voluntarily accept one of the Worst Achievements in Film statuettes.
• While preparing for Mr. Baseball (1992), he joined the Detroit Tigers in 1992 for spring training. He actually took an at-bat (as a pinch hitter) in a game against the Cincinnati Reds, facing Reds’ pitcher Tim Layana. Selleck ended up striking out after fouling away half a dozen pitches.
• Shaved off his trademark moustache for the 1997 film In & Out (1997). Once rarely seen without it, he has since kept it off for most of his stage and screen work.
• Parents: Robert & Martha Selleck. His father was manager of the San Fernando Valley office of a prestigious commercial real estate company.
• Starred in six failed TV pilots before landing his breakthrough role in Magnum, P.I. (1980).
• First TV appearance was as a college senior on The Dating Game (1965) in 1967 and then a second time (date unknown at this time). Incredibly, he lost both times. Soon after, he appeared in TV commercials for products such as Pepsi-Cola.
• Member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
• Is a member of the National Rifle Association and memorably sparred with Rosie O’Donnell on The Rosie O’Donnell Show (1996) about gun control and an advertisement in which he appeared supporting the NRA.
• Selleck was originally cast as “Indiana Jones”, but was not able to take the role because he was committed to Magnum, P.I. (1980). “Magnum” did an episode, Magnum, P.I.: Legend of the Lost Art (1988), that parodied “Raiders”, complete with hat, whip and booby traps.

• Was a member of the California National Guard and was activated for the Watts riots.
• Received an honorary doctorate from Pepperdine University. He was chosen because of his outstanding character and ethic. He is a board member of the non-profit Michael Josephson Institute of Ethics and co-founder of the Character Counts Coalition.
