I'm not a good listener some times. I'm too much of a control freak. I'm learning to be better. I was so caught up in just getting the job done that I would miss out on the human aspect of this. There was a connection missing.

I'm sure some people might be offended by that, but this is my feeling about show business. It's not all about pure talent. There are certain people who command a stage because they look good ,like me.

When you hire me, you hire a nut who is going to work 24 hours a day for you and never, ever burn his audience.

I didn't listen to executives.

I really didn't know much about the Libertarians. I knew they were for less government and more individual freedom. I liked that.

I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose.

The New York Times' list is a bunch of crap. They ought to call it the editor's choice. It sure isn't based on sales.
