I used to be Amish. I had to stay a lot with my grandparents or aunts and uncles who are Amish, so I was sort of partially Amish. When I go back there now I still get into that culture. I can drive a horse and buggy because they don't use cars. And, of course, there's no electricity. I respect them a lot. The Amish like to live a very plain lifestyle, the way they think God intended. It sort of brings you back to like Little House on the Prairie days or something.

And we had grown close, and so it was, like, time for her birthday party and I said 'Oh, like, what time do I come for your party?'

We did major work at the White House. But what people often don't understand is that when you do a historic restoration, you can't just do whatever you want.
