You've got to have a sense of humor to keep your sanity.

I can't bear looking in the mirror - I guess that's why my hair looks like this.

I was always the Southern gentleman.

I find that once you start helping others, it makes you feel better about yourself. It helps you figure out what you want to do with your own life.

I've always dreamed of having a large family.

I definitely didn't want to be that person that came out and was like, 'O.K. I'm going to lead every parade.

I love cooking. It's one of my favorite things to do. To share my parents' recipes that I grew up with is just something very special to me.

This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we go.
