RUDY BOESCH

Everybody recognizes me, so I can't walk down the street without being stopped.

I'm glad to see a lot of patriotism in this country - I haven't seen that since World War II.

Joining the service is a great thing. I think everybody should join the service. It is a great life and we do exciting things.

Keep yourself healthy. If you got your health, you can do anything. You don't need no money, you don't need nothing.

I was born military. I made up my mind right away, 'Im gong to do this for the rest of my life.'

I don't jog anymore 'cuz my knees hurt and stuff like that. I walk a lot and I am really slowing down walking.

It is a good life. I would do it all over in a minute if I could.

I'm not getting an Emmy.

I got out of the Navy in 1990.

I was hoping I could die of old age in the military, but they wouldnt let me.

When they picked the people for 'Survivor,' they wanted 15 fouled-up people and one normal person. I was the normal person, in my opinion. I'd have bet a million bucks I was gonna win.

My word is my word, and my word is good.

If I start something I am going to finish it.

Well, I think one of the big things wrong with kids these days, a lot of them don't have a family. A lot of them got one parent and there's quite a few that don't have any parents and that's where the whole problem is. There's no family life, no father to slap 'em around when they need it.

Ain't nobody more famous than me. I am my own hero and everything else. If you are a SEAL you can say that.

I'm not much at saying patriotic things.

Join the military, there is nothing better. You get to travel a lot.

Every place I go, Im recognied, and its pretty hard to just sit by yourself.

I was never destined to be a movie star, and I'm happy not being one.

I was at the Emmys, and someone told me that I'd gotten more applause than Brad Pitt. I said, 'Who's he?'

One of the biggest things that hurt me during 'Survivor' was I found out girls can run faster than I can. That really burned me up.

I was with much nicer people in the Navy. On Tiga, you had a lesbian, a hippie, a homosexual and this neurologist who shaved his whole body every third day.

I hang around military guys and like it.

I got an action figure. You know, like G.I. Joe. What I seen of it, they got to put a little gray in the hair.

All I do is get up in the morning and go where I'm told to go.
