"It's amazing how some people can love you so much, and someone else can just hate your guts. But thank God people are different, 'cause if they were all the same, we'd all live in Rockingham (N.C.) and listen to country. And that'd just be too crowded for me." -- Former "American Idol" contestant (and Rockingham native) Bucky Covington, reflecting on the Internet chatter about the show, on Zap2It.com.
"When I first started [on 'ER'], one of the producers told me that with all the medical information I would learn, I'd know just enough to be dangerous but not enough to be useful. And he was right! Now when a friend coughs, I think, Hmmm ... I might know what the problem is. But I keep my mouth shut." -- "ER" actress Parminder Nagra, in Good Housekeeping.
