One of the first things I bought when I made 'Roseanne Show' money was a farm in Iowa.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I'm back home in Chicago, since 'Roseanne' was such a Midwestern, blue-collar show, that's what sticks out in people's minds.
I grew up with 'Roseanne'; I kind of adore her and stuff like' Home Improvement', really traditional American stuff.
The second purchase was my ranch, Mockingbird Hill. The third purchase was Longhorn cattle.
My cash cows, the slick magazines, were put out of business by TV.
I grew up in Swaledale, in Iowa. Its population was 220 when I was growing up, and it's probably 150 now. I lived in town and sometimes worked on the farms outside of town in the summers.
Roseanne was incredible to work with. She was extremely bright.
I earned my first steady paycheck watering rose bushes at a nursery for a dollar an hour.
They've said 'Roseanne's nuts' for years, and now I'm going to make that a reality - I'm all about nuts now, macadamia nuts!
I did a show called 'Bakersfield, P.D.' That was one of the best things I have ever done.
I flew back and forth and did episodes of Roseanne while I was at Yale.
