Tone is everything in TV.

Whether it's eight o'clock in the morning or eight o'clock at night, I always try to greet others before they have a chance to speak to me.

I've always had this American-pie face that would get work in commercials... I'd say things like, 'Hi, Marge, how's your laundry?' and 'Hi, I'm a real nice Georgia peach.' Sometimes this work is one step above being a cocktail waitress.

One of the most telling things about a person is how they say hello, handshakes.

Take the tone of the company you are in.

I do personal appearances, and I meet my fans, and I am genuinely honored that they come out to say 'Hello' and just to see me.

If you're in my shoes, and your goal is to leave people with the biggest possible smile on their face, then doing the meet-and-greet afterwards makes sense.

I do personal appearances, and I meet my fans, and I am genuinely honored that they come out to say 'hello' and just to see me. It's so fantastic to see that they give it back.

Tone can be as important as text.

Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say.
