It was great fun. We had gone on tour in between the sessions and reconnected with the audience and got a lot of energy back from them a lot of positive energy.

There's a lot of peer pressure to not do positive stories out of Iraq... I think there's a sense that the administration got a pass during the hot days of war and now that the war is over it's time to even out the deck somewhat.

It's an important thing to have a relationship with the director and have it be a positive one.

So many reality shows are scripted and create this fake drama and it's a bunch of bull. We wanted to do something real and something wholesome and something that's focused on positive family values.

I'm positive and I smile a lot and I'm kind of a banana but serious work just seems to find me so I'm not going to argue with it.

Let's not dismiss or attack individual ideas as being inadequate before we have had a chance to assess their positive effect as part of a whole solution.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have but on the negative side financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

It was a very emotional dinner... Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.

Nobody could've ever known I was positive because I didn't know.

But nobody is listening to those points. They are just listening to the gossip which is saying that I knew I was positive for all these years because I had a faked test a few years ago.
