I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.

Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.

I have really never considered myself a TV star. I always thought I was a neighbor who just came in for a visit.

Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.

Some days, doing "the best we can" may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.

As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has-or ever will have-something inside that is unique to all time.

Anything mentionable is manageable.
