I'm lucky that people feel comfortable sharing things with me.

My husband is the only guy I've ever dated where I've never been drunk around him. I couldn't handle dating without drinking in the past.

Sometimes I try to figure out why I always push things to talk about the really dark stuff in interviews, and I just think it's healing - for the listener, and for the guest.

I feel like I walk a very fine line between wanting someone to be open and vulnerable and honest with me and the listeners, but not wanting anyone to ever feel like I'm exploiting them.

Every time someone opens up to me, it just feels like a gift they're giving me, because it's a chance to experience another human being.

Drinking is a fast-forward button; it makes you feel close to a person so quickly.

I know for me, when I would drink, I circumvented my own self-protection and my own judgment and my own discrimination - the healthy kind of judgment and discrimination.
