The bias against the show is purely elitist. We're all like the people on the show - the difference is that some of us speak better, or were born richer. There's nothing that happens on my show that rich people don't experience.

I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.

I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.

I watch sports and cable news. I’m a political junkie, so that’s my interest.

Country comes before politics.

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.
