Phillip Calvin "Phil" McGraw (born September 1, 1950), known as Dr. Phil, is an American television personality, author, psychologist, and the host of the television show Dr. Phil, which debuted in 2002. McGraw first gained celebrity status with appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the late 1990s. In 2015, Forbes listed his earnings at $70 million for the previous 12 months, and ranked him the 15th highest earning celebrity in the world.
Early life
McGraw was born in Vinita, Oklahoma, the son of Anne Geraldine "Jerry" (née Stevens) and Joseph J. "Joe" McGraw, Jr. He grew up with two older sisters, Deana and Donna, and younger sister Brenda in the oilfields of North Texas where his father was an equipment supplier. During McGraw's childhood, his family moved so his father could pursue a lifelong goal of becoming a psychologist.
"We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we're capable of."
"If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does."
"My dad used to say that the holidays are when you get a whole bunch of people that really aren't that close and don't know each other that well and overcrowd them into a small room for an extended period of time so they can make each other miserable."
"I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little."
"Really, everybody sometimes will think about Christmas, Christmases past, like it was a Currier & Ives print, you know, the candle in the window, the snow on the sill, and isn't this wonderful? But the truth was Uncle Harry got drunk, the kids were fighting over the toys, there wasn't enough money, you overate."
"I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt."
"It is an honor to be invited to millions of viewers' homes in the U.S. and around the world. It is a privilege and not something I take lightly. I am excited to have this continued opportunity for so many years to come."
"The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears."
"I'm one of those that believes you can't be one kind of a man and another kind of president."
"As parents we're not nearly as computer literate as our children are."
"Well, I'm not sure what pop psychology is, but I don't like it."
"There's a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There's a big difference between infatuation and falling in love."
"You know, what we do know is that there is a high frequency of violence in the home of those who bully."
"I mean, if you degrade someone, you isolate them, you control them, you call them names, you demean them. That's a horrible existence for people."
