Religion was a part of our home life when I was growing up. I attended Catholic school. It was a good education - for the spiritual end, as well as for its discipline.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.

Laughter was a part of the church services I attended as a child.

Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.

I come from a blue-collar family, and I'm just glad for the work.

What I loved about 'The Beverly Hillbillies' was that it was about family love and growth and understanding. The riches-to-rags premise is just the wallpaper.

There was nothing that amazed me more than parents that could channel the loss of their child into a crusade to protect other people's kids.
