Quotes[]
Chuck Norris: "I have a ranch outside Houston, and I thought if the right concept for a TV series came along, I might be interested. I've been offered at least a dozen series, and none of them interested me. And when this concept came along, I thought this would be something I'd be interested in, playing a Texas Ranger. Something I wouldn't get bored with."
— February 15, 1993[1]
Chuck Norris: "In the first two-hour episode, I take on four guys and kick butt. There's a lot of action right through the series but done kind of humorously. And there are scenes I've never done before, in which I open myself up to a girl who's been raped and fallen into a catatonic state. He's vulnerable, my Walker character."
— June 1993[2]
Chuck Norris: "I swore that I'd never do a TV series because I still get a lot of movie offers. But, when this came along, I realized it was the kind of character I could play week after week and be comfortable. Episodic TV is a whole different animal than making movies. Tom Selleck warned me about that. You're doing an eight-week movie in just three weeks."
— June 1993[2]
Chuck Norris: "There's a lot of action, but it's all done with a moral background. It's justice fighting injustice. God knows we need more of that today."
— April 1994, in response to concerns that the show is too violent.[3]
