--David Soul's acceptance speech during the People's Choice Awards, 1977
| First, a
few words about Starsky and Hutch
from the men who knew them best . . . . |
| "If you can think that way -- if you want to think
it's a homosexual relationship, if you think that's what it is -- then that's what it is.
It's not... you know, I guess first of all one has to decide what 'sexual' means, and go
from there. If you're thinking of it in terms in a physical sense, then absolutely not. If
one is thinking of 'relationship' in a sexual sense as it relates to a kind of unselfish
giving and receiving from another human being, that is there." --David Soul on BBC Special, 1980 |
"Whatever else the show is about, there's
one thing you can't get past, and that is that it's about two people, two human beings,
loving each other and caring for each other. |
| "[To PMG] I think the American people have seen this show,
Paul, in a way that maybe is not played too much, press-wise. And I think they've seen a
relationship between two men who could be anything, and I think in accepting that and
giving us this award makes me feel really good about it, because I don't think there are
other male relationships that are exposed that way. [PMG reaches to touch his cheek, and
DS turns to the audience] You know what I mean? I really mean that!" --David Soul's acceptance speech during the People's Choice Awards, 1977
