Death by plane crash scares me. I travel a lot, and when you hit turbulence, and post 9/11, that's in the back of my mind a bit.

The Howard Hughes I knew began to change after his plane crash in 1941.

My mother was killed in a plane crash, so I hate travelling in planes. Death is so unexpected. I would actually rather stay at home and not go anywhere.

After the plane crash and all the other stuff, someone snatches your kid. It can't get any worse than that. Michael goes from bad to worse this year. You'll see him dig deep to really deal with what's going on.

My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.

If I don't die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
