I have four kids; three girls and a boy. The oldest girl is 13, and has her own social life now, so there's a bit of begrudging cooperation there. It's tough.

So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.

Suddenly Star Wars came out while we were on hiatus, and we looked like the old Buck Rogers series, where they had cigarette smoke blowing out the back of the rocket ship.

I got a series with the WB next year. We start shooting in July. It's going to be called Safe Harbor, and it's an hour show. It's a Spelling show and will follow 7th Heaven.

The best aunts aren't substitute parents, they're co-conspirators.

I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

Sometimes you are damn wrong and you just don't get it.

A zombie amusement park sounds like fun, but the health code violations alone are enough to turn your stomach.

It was as if a morning-glory had bloomed in her throat, and all that blue and small pollen ate into my heart, violent and religious

If we have a heart to learn and a willingness to follow the example of children, their divine attributes can hold a key to unlocking our own spiritual growth.

I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes.
