  • The great thing about getting married young like I did and having a child so young is that he gets to know all the relatives.

It's like a memoir-cookbook. -- Tony Danza
  • I was raised by my great-great aunt. I was adopted within our family. My mother had me when she was, I think, 15, 16. They tried to get her to have an abortion and she refused. So, my 'mama' adopted me, which was really her great aunt, which was really my great-great aunt, who was named Viola Dickerson. I was told that my mother was my sister. -- Eric Dickerson
