Love is great for us, but we don't always love who is great for us.

If you can't be committed to another person, at least be committed to the concept of character and don't cheat.

The overarching issue, as I see it, is the elitism of America's political system; the fact that regular, ordinary Americans aren't considered in policy debates or legislation, and regularly get shafted by the powers-that-be in Washington.

Love is great for us, but we don't always love who is great for us.

I'm liberal, but I watch the three majors. Obviously I watch MSNBC, also CNN and Fox, which is what I would call ridiculously to the right.

I don't live in Hollywood. I don't have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don't pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.

I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.
