I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.

I've been very fortunate. I feel very thankful. I've been able to come home and do some fun things and make it exciting for people here at home.

I've got tapes that I'm so thankful that my father made - old reel-to-reel tapes. I've got a ton of those things at home. He kept those like fine diamonds I mean he kept them you know in a box and was very very careful of them you know.

I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely.

I bless God for this retirement: I never was more thankful for any thing than I have been of late for the necessity I am under of self-denial in many respects.

I feel like I still am struggling in a lot of different ways. I still have to fight for certain things. Certain jobs. At least I'm working and I'm thankful for that.

I want to let my fans get to know a little about me. I'm very thankful for everything they've done for me so of course I'm going to let them into my world a bit. But I really am a very private person and I love kepping my life to myself - that's how I've always been.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.

It's been quite a roller coaster ride but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

I'm thankful to be breathing on this side of the grass. Whatever comes comes.

I'm thankful for serendipitous moments in my life where things could've gone the other way.

If you try to bring 'teen drama ' you end up doing nothing but pouting.

Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.

'Teen Moms!' I started watching them like the first two seasons and I stopped. I stopped because they are too young. I feel sorry for them. And I didn't watch that show 'Hoarders.' That thing would made my skin crawl.
