It [Dr Phil] was great. We had such a good time. Never a dull moment on set, considering the 18 kids. It never got boring.

I had to take the driver's test twice. And they don't make you parallel park anymore, but you can't hit the curb when you're backing up. And I hit the curb.

No office in the land is more important than that of being a citizen.

All we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That's the way we go through our lives. Everybody.
