I believe that there is God in all of us

With a houseful of kids you give each other strength.

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

I've had a good life. Enough happiness, enough success.

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

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

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

I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone.

I love my work. I've had three successful series, and I want to find out if I can make a fourth.

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

I'm going to beat this cancer or die trying.

I think all of us create our own miracles.

The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

Sometimes I wonder if we live life by reliving life, rather than by living life.

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

The tougher the fight, the more important the mental attitude.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

To foster the people's willing spirit is often as important as to possess the more concrete forms of power.
