A Quote by Sherwood Schwartz

I don't like it to be compared to 'Survivor.' The idea of 'Survivor' is to kill each other off to win the prize. There's no killing in Gilligan's Island.

I see myself as a survivor, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm a survivor. To me, survivor implies strength, implies that I have been through something and I made it out the other side.

Elizabeth Smart

If I were on 'Survivor,' I might be the first off the island.

Dakin Matthews

As the show's executive producer, I envisioned something akin to "Gilligan's Island" meets Lord of the Flies meets Ten Little Indians mets "The Real World." "Survivor" marks a return to a core element of adventure: staying alive.

Mark Burnett

It's very hard to understand when you're not out there but voting somebody off on Survivor almost feels like you're killing them.

Aras Baskauskas

I like 'Bootylicious,' 'Survivor' - my little granddaughter loves 'Survivor.'

Aretha Franklin

I got a lot of criticism for going back on 'Survivor' to play 'Survivor: All Stars.'

Jenna Morasca

'Survivor' was not fixed. There's no way to fix 'Survivor.'

Rudy Boesch

I don't want to be the only survivor on the island with no smoke.

Sean Price

I have done a lot greater things than 'Survivor.' Going through SEAL training was much harder than 'Survivor.'

Rudy Boesch

I was the last, the sole survivor. The most honorable thing a survivor could do was survive. If you stayed on your feet, stayed alive, you were the winner.

Jean-Claude Izzo

It wasn't the first reality show, but 'Survivor' was the first big network hit, and I'm proud to have played a part in that history as the winner of season six, 'Survivor: Amazon.'

Jenna Morasca

The 'My Mother the Car' script read like Neil Simon compared to the 'Gilligan's Island' script.

Jerry Van Dyke

'Survivor' wouldn't have happened had I not gone out there and helped CBS to sell sponsors to finance the first one. Part of my thinking on 'Survivor' was that it should have rewards that are corporate brands. A Big Mac, one thimble-full of Coca-Cola.

Mark Burnett

Over time as most people fail the survivor's exacting test of trustworthiness, she tends to withdraw from relationships. The isolation of the survivor thus persists even after she is free.

Judith Lewis Herman

I'm a survivor. But I'm also victim, too. Surviving has the connotation that you've been through it, you lived through it and that's wonderful - but a victim is what I was. "Survivor" is the more healing way to look at it.
