"And after four years, I thoroughly enjoy Hawaii and the success of the show"
About this Quote
The phrasing “thoroughly enjoy Hawaii” does double duty. On the surface, it’s postcard gratitude: sun, water, location shooting that feels like a perk. Underneath, it’s a soft defense of the work itself. Filming in Hawaii for a mainland audience can read as escapism; by emphasizing enjoyment, MacArthur implies the setting isn’t just scenery, it’s a lived environment shaping morale, performance, and the show’s texture.
Then comes the neat splice: “and the success of the show.” He ties personal pleasure to professional validation, as if to reassure skeptical listeners that paradise hasn’t dulled ambition. The subtext is a classic actor’s balancing act: acknowledge the privilege without sounding complacent, credit the outcome without claiming authorship. It’s PR language with a human pulse, telegraphing stability, gratitude, and the rare luxury of a hit that also feels good to make.
