"Then as I was wrestling as Terry Boulder. I was on a talk show with Lou Ferrigno, and I was actually bigger than he was! I went back to the dressing room that night and all of the wrestlers go 'Oh my God you're bigger than the hulk on TV' so they started calling me Terry 'The Hulk' Boulder."

"It's fascinating, getting inside the actresses you're singing for. It's like cutting off the top of their heads and seeing what's underneath. You have to know how they feel, as well as how they talk, in order to sing as they would sing -- if they could sing."
(Margaret "Marni" Nixon McEathron, soprano, attrice e doppiatrice; Altadena, 22 febbraio 1930 – New York, 24 luglio 2016)
"Well, when I was twelve years old, I ‘got saved’. My mother, who had just gotten saved herself, basically came and told the entire family the Gospel. I had never heard it. I had been to a lot of churches and I heard ‘be good, be a good boy, be nice’. But, when I heard the Gospel, it absolutely resonated with me and I got on my knees and prayed. I knew I was a sinner at twelve already and asked Christ into my heart and life and to be my savior. But the years drifted on (and) I got into my late teens, went away to college and just drifted away from any semblance of acting like a Christian. But when we formed the band America, we were living in London. I went into my own little room and I got on my knees and I said, ‘Lord, if you’ll make this group a success, I will use it as a platform to tell other people about you.’ I never told another soul. Well, within a year of praying that prayer, we had a number one album and a number one single around the world. It hit me like a ton of bricks one day. Bam! “God answered your prayer! Now you need to live up to your end of the bargain!’ I kind of – not half-heartedly – I tried to share the Gospel with Dewey and Gerry. They weren’t interested. I tried to share it with some other people – they didn’t want to know. So, I just kind of withdrew into my shell as a heathen and then just became a practicing hedonist."

"In America, I met some fantastic people making films. But going there felt like a bit of a defeat. I mean, why should I leave my country to work? But there was far more television and film in American then. At the time, I didn't like the psoriasis with the stage fright, but it may have made me more sensitive and introverted, which might have led to it."
