I talked about my family, my family's so important.

When I was a newspaper reporter, and later a television writer, I really felt my co-workers became a second family.

I'm very proud of Family Ties. It's meant a lot to a lot of people.

There are enough stories about my family. We have all been in the public eye.

I've always been a firm believer in local news, because it's an opportunity to connect with the community where you live.

It's funny being the big news every day - and the good news every day.

My family didn't really have newspapers at home or talk about politics - my family are not political. They were too busy getting on with it - working, looking after kids, trying to pay off the mortgage, all that stuff.

I tried to keep it secret, but the story got into the newspapers. It was more difficult for my family, who couldn't understand why the media wouldn't leave me in peace.

My family was my guide to my reality.

There is always sleaze in the news. And you know what? The news is always a combination of things that are interesting and things that are important.
