Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works.

I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.

I wanted to do Buddy Faro as a small budget movie. They said no. So I wanted to do it as a series of recurring TV movies, and they said no. So I agreed to do it as a series.

To be always doubting your ability to get what you long for is like trying to reach east by traveling west.

One of the main problems in families today is that we spend less and less time together.... Time together is precious time-time needed to talk, to listen, to encourage, and to show how to do things.

Sell practical, tested merchandise at a reasonable profit, treat your customers like human beings - and they will always come back.
