Growing up, my uncle used to always have dogs, and we always had a dog growing up. I couldn't remember a time when I never had a dog. It was part of the family. So once I actually got old enough, I got a dog in college, then I felt he needed a friend, so I got another dog. They just started adding up from there.

I used to go to Dairy Queen all the time. It always brings back a little bit of memories. As kids, we always used to go get ice cream.

What I've been doing over the course of my career - everybody's been seeing me be my best self.

I feel I'm one of those guys that doesn't necessarily depend on athletic ability.

I like the values associated with a medical family - common sense, being practical but also thoughtful.

I did not raise my son, Sam, to celebrate Mother's Day. I didn't want him to feel some obligation to buy me pricey lunches or flowers, some annual display of gratitude that you have to grit your teeth and endure.

The traditional family has an intrinsic as well as an instrumental value, and that is the real reason so many conservatives defend it.

I've got a wonderful family. They're so non-showbiz.
