I hug employees all the time. I'm a huge contact person. Touch is an extremely important part of the human condition.

I love meeting people, and I know it's so difficult for people to come up to me and introduce themselves, so when they do, I'll grab them and hug them. It makes their day, you know? I love that, and I get positive energy from that.

If I meet pals, we do hug each other, and it's very nice, you know... it's something that's come on me late and became second nature, and it's first nature now!

I have no problem if someone wants to hug me - if I know him!

I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.

Hugs make you feel psychologically more secure and together.

I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.

You should never have to say hello or goodbye. Even at work sometimes, and I know this is very unpopular, is that if I'm going to work every single day, I don't think you should have to hug people hello every single day when you come to work. I saw you Monday!

Now, perfectly ordinary people will give each other hugs. I mean, it used to be that a hug was reserved for if you came back from Australia - you know, back in the '40s and '50s.
