- "I sometimes found myself more comfortable around my TV family than I did with my own parents and sisters."
- "The Hollywood lifestyle was just overwhelming. A party here, an interview there, magazine and modeling shoots daily, your face everywhere and girls throwing themselves at you. As great as it felt at the time, I still felt something missing, and that I needed to change."
- "To say that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to say that no one designed the Coca Cola can."
- "The Hollywood industry is a twisted place to grow up. It was bad when I was there, but even more so now."Boston Herald: Kirk Cameron talks faith, marriage and movies (September 23, 2008)
