They played with a lot of pride. They heard about all the star players on the North, and they went out there and played with a lot of heart.
I've done over 150 different things since "Different Strokes," but that role will always be prevalent in people's minds because I haven't done anything to overshadow it yet.
I know the difference between true love and the love of my fans.
I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone.
I try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful.
I would not give my first 15 years to my worst enemy.
My slogan is I'm the least qualified guy for the job, but I'd probably do the best job.
Politics is never about the people. It's about money. And wars. And how many heads you can step on and bodies you can step over. And I'm just not that kind of person.
Star Wars was magnificent, but you could tell Darth Vader's ships were glued together.
I have lifestyle requirements. Photos, meetings, lunches, dinners, facial care, tooth care. It requires an exorbitant amount of money.
I knew what normalcy was, and I wasn't having it.
I have four strikes against me. I'm black, I'm short, I'm intelligent, and I have a medical condition.
I don't want to be known as Gary Coleman's wife.
You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.
