Because my father was a psychiatric nurse, I know my way around the system.

Most of my peers in television seem to be from a different planet. I don't hang out with any of them.

There is a learning quality in all of our shows.

If you go to most third world countries, the older woman dispenses advice to the arguing couple while other members of the family, or even the village, sit around and listen. It is no big deal.

I know I can get to the stage where I'm drinking a lot. I tend to be rotten and groggy all day and hanging out for the next drink and five o'clock, ping! I have to just stop.

Somebody like me wouldn't have gone on to the Trisha show because I already had a public profile.

It is ridiculous that somebody picks up the phone and calls somebody they see on television. Why don't they call somebody in their area? Don't they know about that?
