How do you define your personal style? I like to be comfortable in whatever setting I’m in. On stage, it’s nothing but class; I love wearing a great suit. At home, give me some jeans and a t-shirt. What’s your favorite meal and where do you like to have it? Chicken enchiladas in our Provo, Utah kitchen. Debbie makes the most amazing chicken enchiladas. What’s the last thing you bought for yourself that you really love? A helicopter. I absolutely love it; I fly it at least twice a week and buzz the neighborhood. I’m also getting pretty proficient at maneuvering it through trees, but I would love to learn how to do flips. Did I mention it’s a remote control helicopter? What’s the thing you’d really love to buy next? A new helicopter. I’m not a very good remote control pilot. Where’s your favorite place in the world? Home. I’ve traveled the world over – multiple times. Dorothy said it best, “There is no place like home.” What’s your oldest possession, something you would hate to part with?
How does it feel to be a pop icon to so many moms on an International level?
I have a box in my basement that I just cannot throw away. It has all of my original purple socks in it.
I meet a lot of those “International Moms” when they come to see my show at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. I’m very grateful for all my fans and to have a lasting career in entertainment.
What’s something about you most people would be surprised to hear?
Tell us more about the DOH Brand.
At this point in my career, I’ve surprised a lot of people with all the different things I’ve done: TV, radio, theater, touring, race car driving, boxing…however, I think the most surprising is that my wife, Debbie and I have gone into home furnishings. I love this new expression of creativity.
Donny Osmond Home conveys a rustic simplicity with charm and modern flair. The collection brings warmth and comfort home again, featuring antiqued hues and finishes updated with trending colors and textures. It delivers big on the brand message of “Making Home & Family #1” by creating an environment that encourages families to spend more time together.
How will you be celebrating Mother’s Day this year with your wife Debbie and all the children/grandchildren? Mother’s Day is a very special day. I’ll be home with Debbie just spending quality time together. While some of my children/grandchildren won’t be celebrating with us in person because they live on opposite coasts, I’m sure we’ll be video calling all of them. How important do you think it is for us to look after our moms? I have a deep rooted respect for mothers, especially my mother. She, along with my father, taught me important principles that help me govern my life today. You know, if we’re honest with ourselves, mothers play an integral role establishing the foundations of society. They leave an indelible impression with the children they raise, and those children become our leaders.
Where can we purchase the line? Visit DonnyOsmond.com for a variety of online sellers, participating retailers and dealers searchable at the WHERE TO BUY link on each category page.

Debbie and I have consistently maintained “home and family” as a priority in our lives. The brand message is an extension of who we are. It validates “home” as a place where “family focus” cultivates strong bonds, traditions, and interactions that inspire a lifetime of happiness, security and peace. Our blogs at DonnyOsmond.com offer creative ideas for home design, discussion of social issues facing families today, and great activity ideas for you and your family.
