I haven't fully moved over to the iPad. At any given time, I have about four DVDs in my pocket. I'm constantly screening 'Top Chef,' 'Housewives,' and all the other shows we have in development, racing to meet a deadline. So I pretty much bring my laptop everywhere.

The one guiding principle over my 23-year career in TV has been as long as I'm having fun, I really don't care what the job title is.

In the case of 'The Housewives,' I call the 'Housewives' sociology of the rich. I think it's just fun to watch. It's guilt-free gossiping that you can have. It's like the modern-day soap opera, in my mind.

Fame does different things to different people. For some people it makes them a better person.

The very idea of printing my diary has always struck me as completely superficial.

I think when you're live on TV in an unscripted environment a lot slips through the cracks of your real self. People can read my face, they know what I'm thinking.

Certainly when you read someone's diary [ superficial] that's a word that jumps to mind.
