Quotes from Ian Ziering

I am an actor, but my most important job is provider of my family.

I would love any opportunity to work with my former castmates again.

I began modeling in N.Y. and doing commercials. That led to regional theatre and then Broadway and then movies.

Failure is not an option. So, we're committed to the success of not just our relationship but to raising two amazing girls... It's dedication. We've anchored ourselves to a foundation of accountability, and we've set out to be successful at this, so we're going to do it.

People spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make movies that don't do anything. I mean, no one's talking about 'Pacific Rim' today. No one's talking about 'The Lone Ranger,' and those were $100 million movies that didn't have nearly the impact that 'Sharknado' did.

I always wanted to do action-adventure, and science fiction genres were always something that were of great interest to me.

I just try to do the best job I can with what I'm given. My main focus is the work and not the glamour.

I treat auditions as if they are gold. I try to make every one count.

We're living in a society where you need to be accountable for your actions, for your behavior - for yourself. To sit back and be reactive would be to allow your children to make big mistakes without the benefit of your wisdom being bestowed on them. It's not what my parents taught me.

Dancing isn't easy, and to just jump into three to four hours of rehearsals a day is a lot.

I feel blessed: having a family is something that I've always wanted. Having a second child is the realization of a dream come true.

I view having celebrity as having capital, and I don't know a better way to spend that capital other then helping people.

I think this show can have legs for a long time. That's why it's called 'Beverly Hills 90210' instead of something like 'West Beverly High.'

Leg day is my favorite day. You can't have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent. It's a challenge, but the benefits of maintain muscle mass on my legs is important because, as the biggest muscle group in the body, it also helps me keep the proper body composition in terms of fat to muscle ratio.

There are so many people that say they are actors and they don't spend for 5 minutes a day working on their craft. You need to train and need to take classes to keep your tools sharp. I'm always in class, whether it's theater or drama workshops.

I'm tanned from head to toe, and it looks like I've been in The Bahamas.

Some of my earliest memories are dancing in the kitchen, standing on my mom's toes.

Being married, I don't know how to describe it. It's very comfortable when you find the right person. It all comes together beautifully.

Like every audition I go on, I do my best, but after that, I let it go because, you know, the rejection rate is so great in Hollywood, and I can only control what I do in the audition, and after that it's up to somebody else.

I enjoy the holidays, but I'm back to work pretty quickly.

For me, to get to play an action hero in a science fiction film is a marriage of two genres that I'm a huge fan of.

In this business, it's important: if you consider yourself a journeyman actor like I do, you need to stay topical. So I'm always looking for projects that are challenging, that put me in a light that's different from anything I've ever done before.

I'm a student of the movies. I'm a student of all media. This is what I do, and I like to immerse myself in what's current and what's topical. And I find that I'm drawn to those things.

I love coming to Las Vegas. I've always loved it and always had a good time.
