 "I'm certainly going to think about it.  (But) when I do decide that I'm
done, it will be because I feel I have done what I needed to do, not because
of any one person ever."

				  interview with a British paper in which
				  she said she would quit her show because
				  Jerry Springer had ruined daytime.

dress. (Steve Voldseth)

cupholders, it comes with two crew members and a beverage cart.... no matter
what your destination is, you have to pass through Atlanta. (Voldseth)
