I'm not old-fashioned when it comes to dating but there's something nice about a guy pulling out a girl's chair and opening the door for her even if it's just in the beginning.

When I started dating I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet fateful romantic idea about love which was almost that you were a victim and there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be.

The prospect of dating someone in her twenties becomes less appealing as you get older. At some point in your fife your tolerance level goes down and you realize that with someone much younger there's nothing really to talk about.

I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it.

Relationships in general make people a bit nervous. It's about trust. Do I trust you enough to go there?

It's always been my personal feeling that unless you are married there is something that is not very dignified about talking about who you are dating.

However successful you are there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.

There's only two people in your life you should lie to... the police and your girlfriend.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

You know that family is going to be there for you no matter what. My dad gave me a freakin' kidney!

My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.'

My dad died when I was three so my mom had to raise four kids on her own and I think there's a part of me that pulls upon having watched my mom do that our whole lives. She had to make it work.

My dad was a good athlete. My mom had longevity. There were some athletic genes that certainly got passed down.

It's always been a dream of mine to get somewhere and to have my mom and dad with me up there.

On my best days such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality.

I don't know if there is a gene for comedy but my dad was a very funny man. He just didn't know it. He was a naturally funny character and when my brother and I would laugh at things he said and did he would say 'What do you think is so funny?'

My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me and I try and try and try it's just impossible to have a relationship.
