I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don't. What we [America] did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism - and by doing what we did in Iraq, we've managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism.

When I was first on 'Dancing With The Stars,' people were really shocked and surprised.

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.

We can't just have mainstream behavior on television in a free society, we have to make sure we see the whole panorama of human behavior.

Country comes before politics.

The bias against the show is purely elitist. We're all like the people on the show - the difference is that some of us speak better, or were born richer. There's nothing that happens on my show that rich people don't experience.

I can't imagine anybody who has spoken to more, or presented more non-famous people on television in the history of the world.
