Quotes
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | (On Creationism): To say that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to say that no one designed the Coca Cola can. |
| 2 | The Hollywood lifestyle was just overwhelming. A party here, an interview there, magazine and modeling shoots daily, your face everywhere and girls throwing themselves at you. As great as it felt at the time, I still felt something missing, and that I needed to change. |
| 3 | "I sometimes found myself more comfortable around my TV family than I did with my own parents and sister." - About working on Growing Pains (1985). |
