Quotes

Bill: (before Lost in Space) From the age of four, I was a huge comic fan and still am. When Lost in Space came along it was like being in a huge comic so we jumped at the chance of being part of that project and it proved to be a good choice. (edit)
Bill: (when asked if he'd seen Jonathan Harris in 1996) Jonathan is indeed around. He's in great shape. He's doing tons of voice over work. He and I recently made an appearance together with Leonard Nimoy, at Disney World. I think I'm going to twist his arm, and have him guest star in an upcoming Space Cases episode. Of course, he doesn't know that yet. He's great. I love him. (edit)
Bill: I'd been working quite prolifically, for about five or six years before we started Lost in Space. One week I'd be a scary mutant in The Twilight Zone and another I'd be a nice little kid in a Disney movie. (edit)
Bill: I'm very lucky to work in so many different arenas of the entertainment industry and I do enjoy them all, but making music - original music - in the studio or live onstage is definitely my favorite thing to do. (edit)
Bill: In the entertainment business, your life can change in five minutes for five years. (edit)
