I think she'd seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers and her imagination ran away with her. There's a part of me that still believes it.”

“From my perspective, probably women are won over by people who are sweet and respectful and courteous and kind and funny. I think those are the things that win women over.”

“I accidentally entered a youth pageant when I was 14. That's like a beauty pageant, but without the beauty. It was terrible.”
