"The president is supposed to have a very tough job, and, really, I'd like to see what it's all about -- exactly how much thinking does he have to do on his own? Plus, living in the White House would be nice. I mean, the way it's set up, the presidency is practically royalty -- people taking care of your every need. He's got servants ... I don't have servants!"

"I'd like to ride a mile in Seth Enslow's boots. He's the most extreme motocross rider out there right now, a guy who's gotten his face ground off and had operations to rebuild both cheekbones. I'd like to see what it'd be like to be that good."

"Great-grandma Barbre, a full-blooded Cherokee about five feet tall and three feet wide. She knew more about the world than most of us will ever know. She had a tough life, but she was a sweetie -- and she cared for her family, no matter what it took."

"It would be Imelda Marcos. She's the shoe gal, and women just love a good selection of shoes!"

"Oh, Frank Sinatra! I can't think of anyone else who's had more fun in their life, probably more than anyone else on the face of the planet. I mean, c'mon -- fly to Vegas for a weekend gig and then hang out with the president? I'll take his loafers any day."
