I always wanted to be an anchorman, but after college I wound up working behind the scenes at CBS News for 10 years.

I hope people will find the book [Superficial: More Adventures from the Andy Cohen Diaries] a whole lot more than hollow.

Ultimately, it's not my job to judge the 'Housewives' - we don't editorialize on the show; we really leave it to the audience. We have a certain wink, which is the Bravo wink. We may linger on a shot or we may let something play out longer, but we leave it to you.

I love San Francisco so much. I call it the Emerald City and have been coming here since 1992. I have a few old friends that live here, and my aunt and uncle live in Oakland. I think it's a magical city - it's big, sexy and very 'cosmo' with a small-town feel.

After three straight years of writing, though, I definitely needed a break to just go live my life.

I love divas. Madonna, Mariah, Beyonce, Britney.

I love the term "everything is copy," attributed to Nora Ephron, which was my guiding principle as I wrote.
