Quote: "My heart is in television, just because it's been so good to me․․․television is my home․ It's a special breed of person that can do nine months on and three months off, with 22 episodes of one-hour shows․ It's very hard work․ It can be a grind․ It's not a grind for me․ I relish in that․ But, there are very few of us that can handle that․"
Quote: "When you share something personal and intense, people are less inclined to think of you as a celebrity and more of a human being․"
