Quotes

1. " I had no idea her name would create such controversy! For the record, she's named Jagger because we wanted a unisex name, Joseph after my godfather, and Blue because we loved it. Coming from a household of crazy names, this is normal for us!"
2. "If people are still coming up to me when I'm 80 and saying "Hey, weren't you Punky?" I won't mind because it was such a huge inspiration in my life. The fact that people still come up to me and remember the show, and remember the impact that it had on them......it's wonderful."
3. "I think that's one of the most important gifts we have in television - the ability to heal through laughter."
4. "You know, I just want to keep on making movies. This medium, this forum has been incredible for me. As a kid, especially a teenager, I took a camera with me everywhere I went and it was my diary. I shot my friends, holidays, dinners, breakfasts, any moment-hanging out in parking lots. I love, I love human beings, studying them."
