ADD QUOTES
- Tim Allen: (when TV son Jonathan Taylor Thomas left "Home Improvement") It's all personal with me. I really love Jonathan, and I loved working with him, and I loved him being on the show, and I loved that show, so any kind of separation there felt like betrayal, so no matter what reason there was, whether it was a good reason or a bad reason, I didn't like it. I wanted Jonathan on the show, and when I didn't get what I wanted, I said things that I didn't mean. I just missed the kid, that's all.

- Tim Allen: Electricity can be dangerous. My nephew tried to stick a penny into a plug. Whoever said a penny doesn't go far didn't see him shoot across that floor. I told him he was grounded.
