• The really funny thing is that my mom and my dad never, ever, ever wanted me to be in this businessbut it just kind of happened. I blame it all on my mom who was still dancing on stage with me when she was however many months pregnant. I always say that I was dancing and acting in the belly. I feel like it’s something I was born with and inspired by my family since I grew up backstage, watching them perform. I guess it was just a natural path for me.

• Adventures are funny things.
  Many are merely happy accidents—a single spark that ignites an unexpected chain of events.
  But some adventures are meant for you and you alone.
  And whether you want them or not, they seek you out of a great crowd and take you somewhere you never thought you’d go.
  Often, these unlooked for adventures require a sacrifice too great to imagine.

• The funny thing is that the process of coming up with an idea for a column or a 'Candid Camera' sequence is essentially the same thing. I just live my life with eyes and ears perhaps a little bit wider open than some people. Whatever bothers me or seems off kilter or in need of parody-or on a serious subject, in need of examination-in the past I had done a sequence about it. Now I write a column about it.
