Philip Michael Thomas Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Philip Michael Thomas (born May 26, 1949) is an American celebrity. After his success in “Miami Vice”, Thomas appeared in numerous made-for-TV movies and ads for phone psychic services. In 1985, Thomas recorded a music record titled Living the Novel of My Entire Life. It sold badly and failed to make a hit single. Thomas performed the title song of his record throughout the 1985 Miami Vice episode, “The Maze.” The episode “Trust Fund Pirates” featured another of his tunes, “La Mirada”. Thomas’ Miami Vice costar Don Johnson recorded an album soon later titled Heartbeat. Although Johnson’s record was more successful (producing a top 5 single), both records are thought to be prime examples of the hubris of successful performers. Thomas followed up in 1988 using another record, Somebody. In addition, it did not make a hit and sold badly. In 1993, Thomas teamed with Kathy Rahill to compose “My, My, Miam…i”, that has been selected as the town of Miami’s theme song. The exact same year, Thomas teamed with Jamaican fitness teacher Sandi Morais to compose tunes to get a family-friendly musical titled Sacha, which have runs in south Florida and New York. The two formed the Magic Cookie Generation Firm.

Quote
1
I will always be a gypsy, and if a woman is going to love me, she will have to love the gypsy spirit in me. This is the thing in the past most women have not understood. They want to embrace the physical relationship and settle down. That means death to me. I gotta fly.

I'm locked in as one of the showbiz superstars. Like Dr. Kildare is forever. Telly Savalas is forever.

There are only a few who will be the Fords, the Edisons, the Carnegies, and I think I'm in that number.

I'm like Gandhi in a sense. I don't mind walking with the people. I will take off my suits and ties and get down there and work.

I have been recommending Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich to almost everybody I have met since I first read it in 1967. It is the master key to anyone who wants to succeed.

I love encouraging people to read great books. You can travel the world and the universe if you just go to your local library and choose a book to read. I tell my children you must read to lead.

Some people never live a day in a lifetime. I live a lifetime in a day.

Once you get to the mountain top that's where you really begin to climb.

Good life is like good music. There are rests and pauses and melody and rhythm and lyric and reason and rhyme and love that last for all time. Music and all that it possesses is a multi-dimensional life itself. Not just a trip, but a round trip.
10
Look deep into the mirror of your soul and discover a wonderful truth, the greatest book you'll ever know is written and lived by you.
11
"I've become greened, like money. I respect the position. I'm enthusiastic, as opposed to excited. Enthusiasm comes from the Greek entheos, which means "God-inspired"...I recommend fame, but with fortune. Otherwise, it's a bitch." (Playboy 1985)
