Trademarks: Bubbly cheerful goofy persona
Quotes: Creatively, you need to go live life. As an artist, you are representing life. So you have to rub elbows and be out in it. <br /> <hr> I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved, and you can have great marriages, and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television. <br /> <hr> I loved that about her because I knew it would open the door for a lot of comedy, because I knew that the conflict would come, because not many people live like the way she does. <br /> <hr> I just think that it's [Dharma u0026amp; Greg] such a good show and timeless and still very funny, and that just makes me happy to have that whole first season in one concentrated space for people to enjoy so that it's not hit and miss trying to find it in syndication always. <br /> <hr> I just think it's fun to remind people that good television has exited and it can exist again and just to give them pleasure and enjoy it and make them laugh.
