    ADD QUOTES
    • Henry Winkler: I take home movies of both my families--the real ones and the TV ones. I must have 500 hours from my career.
    • Henry Winkler: (on his confusion following the end of Happy Days) I was very disoriented. All of a sudden, not wanting to act started to creep in and I thought I don't know what to do with this feeling, because this is what I was trained to do, it is what I imagined that I was going to do forever. So the real truth is that it got really strange, really scary.
    • Henry Winkler: (on his transition from The Lords of Flatbush, to Happy Days) I was having a very good time, singing a song, able to make a living. And then, of course, when I got to Hollywood, I was here for a month and I got offered 'Happy Days,' and it was just an extraordinary time.
