I basically modeled my way through college, doing local runway shows in L.A. that don't pay a lot and a couple of shows in N.Y. and S.F., and I probably made the same as the average 19-year-old waiter; I just worked less and was around beautiful girls, so it was nice.

Rachel Maddow is a national treasure. I think that we need honest voices like that and we need journalism like that.

There are so many of us that just do things to pay bills, but I never wanted that to be me.

I think anybody starting any new career needs work.

I don't pay too much attention to the positive reviews or the negative reviews because if you believe one, you've gotta believe the other.

I'm a huge Rachel Maddow fan. There's not a bigger Rachel Maddow fan. I'm a Maddowphile. I'm a definite Maddowphile.
