At Christmas our house is like a Donnie and Marie Christmas Special.

Cancer is just a horrible disease.

I believe as human beings we are out of balance, out of synch with the earth.

Florida has tons of entertainment opportunities because Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are there.

I have been taking classes and I'm familiar with stage, but I'm not as familiar with acting on camera.

I am not a tree-hugger and I don't think mine is an extreme point of view.

I wanted to help raise awareness, so I created an environmental foundation called Just Within Reach.

I sang in church choir all my life, through elementary school, junior high and high school.

I just moved to Florida to seek out opportunities.

My mom sang in high school choir and so did my father.

Quite a few movies are starting to film in Florida.

At Christmas our house is like a Donnie and Marie Christmas Special.

I wasn't originally taking drama, but the drama teacher asked me to audition for Bye, Bye Birdie. I did and got the lead role. Initially I was kind of scared, but once I did it I got bitten by the bug and loved it.

For example, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Every four minutes someone is diagnosed, and every nine minutes someone dies.

We can have technology, prosperity, nice homes and cars, but at the same time we must be conscious of what we are dumping into the water, the air and our food.

If we can get kids talking about conservation and doing it, they can have a great influence on their parents by lecturing them and pointing the finger.

So if people will pay attention to what I say because of our success as a group, I am going to use that.

We're not saying that you don't need coal, but when you do mine the coal there are responsibilities to it. It may cost a little more, but it is the right thing to do.

The coal mining industry is very destructive and it doesn't have to be.

I have been reading scripts, going to auditions and looking for the right opportunities.

In musical theater you have to be very big and very animated, while film and television are more toned down.

But I would lie on the floor and analyze everything. I'd listen to all the strings and the background vocals on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and try to pick out the different instruments.

I started playing in the band and learned to play piano by ear.

I did Chicago on Broadway the year before last. That was a great opportunity and I had a blast.

Coal companies have a lot of power in the media, and unfortunately a lot of information doesn't get out.

I've always loved music, not necessarily just the Osmonds.

I remember lying on the floor of the living room with headphones on when I was four or five years old, listening to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

They wanted to do a movie about the Backstreet Boys.

Once colon cancer becomes symptomatic, nine times out of ten it is too late.

Prior to that I testified before the Senate subcommittee addressing mountaintop removal.

I had been singing all my life, but I started acting in high school.

My grandfather was in a barbershop quartet and my grandmother was in a gospel quartet with her sisters.

I get a little behind during Lent, but it comes out even at Christmas.

If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.

When I was 12, all I wanted for Christmas was a trampoline or a four-wheeler. I ended up getting both presents for Christmas.

Christmas renews our youth by stirring our wonder. The capacity for wonder has been called our most pregnant human faculty, for in it are born our art, our science, our religion.

Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.

Christmas albums are not something you do frequently.

Fantastic! Right in the middle of that long stretch between Christmas and Spring Break, your coats are getting dirty, everything's dark, dingy - what a great time for a movie!

But Tammy Faye calls me, and Ron Jeremy calls me, Erik Estrada sends me a Christmas card every year.

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

There's been a concerted effort to steal Christmas.

I have a musical called Goodbye and Good Luck, based on a Grace Paley short story. I also have King Island Christmas, and there are 20 different productions of it this year.

I intend to keep writing Christmas songs. There's still a lot more about Christmas that can be captured and feel like old-time Christmas. A lot of the traditions haven't been explained in song.

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

Dad bought me a toy drum one Christmas, and I eventually destroyed it. I wanted a real drum and he bought me a snare drum. Dad continued to buy me one drum after the other.
