I want to do an intelligent talk show where you have room to breathe...

When people heckle me, I have the microphone. And the press has the microphone.

I read the 'New York Times', I read 'The Nation', I read 'Newsweek', I read 'Time Magazine', I read 'Politico', I read 'Mediaite'. This is what I do! I read every day, I have interests, I'm like everybody out there who's watching, who's out there watching, you know?

It's a completely useless emotion - jealousy. I don't go there.

I feel like when being raised in New York City I have a particular perspective on things like Gay issues maybe, because I'm in the middle of Manhattan.

I don't know what it's going to take for people to really wake up and understand that they [the Bush administration] are liars and they are murderers.

Never eat at a Chinese restaurant named Mama Teresa's Trattoria.
