Growing up during the Cold War period, I always found that, although we always thought that the world would end in some sort of nuclear holocaust, at some point, everybody was pretty hopeful.

I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.

I don't like to share my personal life... it wouldn't be personal if I shared it.

At the core of every religion is the belief that we care for everyone....It's not too late to help a neighbor in need and to do it with the swiftness, expertise, generosity and love that resides in the best of who we are.

I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.

People know everything about everybody now.

I've always been an optimist.
