If this TV success had come in my twenties and I'd become a heart-throb, I would have been very stupid. I would have got into a lot of situations that I really wished I hadn't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wouldn't have the life I have without television. I wouldn't be looking out my apartment window onto the East River; I wouldn't be able to afford to have my mother with me this summer. So television has been very good to me.
You know, so many people say TV makes you stupid. But it had the complete opposite effect on me. It kept me from having a really bad Southern accent.
I've never had a TV in my whole life. Television passed by me.
I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.
I thought doing reality TV would be the greatest success of my life or the biggest mistake.
I never thought television would or could be a long-term commitment.
I didn't want to do it... I'd been trying to get out of TV for years!
I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.
I'd never seen any television before I started.
Television was a great place for me to kind of fall on my face and make mistakes and be okay with it and move on.
