You can die of the cure before you die of the illness.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

Every script I've written and every series I've produced have expressed the things I most deeply believe.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!

I believe in God, family, truth between people, the power of love.

I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think viewers are hungry for shows in which people say something meaningful.
