I get so much out of being married and raising my kids - that's really important to me.

I wasn't a very good waitress, always spilling things on people and forgetting things. I once spilled ashes all over Mike Wallace's table.

Everybody has their challenges; I couldnt say that we have more challenges than other people, theyre just different.

My family absolutely comes first, and I don't mean that in a Pollyanna way. It's the focus of my life because it's what makes me happy.

I'm not a social retard, but I prefer to go unnoticed.

I'm a bit of a homebody. It doesn't take long for me to get to the point where I'm ready to be home again.

James Patterson has a way with female characters. He understands women in a way that a lot of male writers don't.

When something's got to give, family always wins. I couldn't live with myself if it was the other way.

I'm very grounded - that's how I would put it. If you met my mother, you'd probably say the same thing about her. I had a very sane upbringing, though some very insane things happened.

A life without God is like a boat without an anchor.

Sleep ... peace of the soul who put-test care to flight.

It's such a contentious thing to get people in a room and just say, "go!"

The National Flood Insurance Program is a voluntary program. If a community really feels that the building insurance requirements are too burdensome, they don't have to participate.

And that was the closest I've ever come to an epiphany.

I grew up poor. My mother raised a family of four on between $9,000 and $15,000 a year.

Complex things oftentimes disrupt social norms.

You know what, I'm stoned, and I'm proud.
