ADD QUOTES
- Richard Burgi: (On how he manage to keep his work and family life balanced) I switch wives weekly. I have a rotation of about 20-30 that I have made pledges too! Ha, Ha! I call it my wedding carousel! On a serious note, behind every good man is a great woman.
  Edit Share Hide
- Richard Burgi: (On what he does when people recognise him on the streets) Pretend that I am someone else! Seriously, I am very grateful that my work is appreciated for the most part. I don't think that anyone has ever said anything bad to me. Besides, I enjoy it. I enjoy meeting people.

- Richard Burgi: (On his athletic ability to do his own stunts) I have a fortunate amount of genetic programming in my system. But I'm a pretty lazy guy. I've always been active, but all this gets to be annoying sometimes, you know? You gotta run and jump and do this and jump off that, hang off this. And it's crazy. This week I cut myself, wound up with stitches in my hand. I hit my head, I've cracked teeth. I mean, it's nothing major, but I'm very vain. This sort of thing can get to you after a while.
