When I was 10, 11, 12 years old, I would pretend to be on the radio. I bought a mixer and these big, ugly headphones and I would literally broadcast the cassette tapes in my bedroom.

I'm someone who thinks that where there's a void, I need to fill it, but I'm trying to have patience and a little bit of discipline.

My parents would always have us, as many times as we could, sit together for dinner and talk about what was happening in our lives, and so we created a great recipe where I could be completely honest with my mother and to an extent my father, being an attorney.

I want to continue to produce shows that directly effect change.

What I love about the environment we live in and we work in, is that there are no boundaries anymore. We can do a lot of different things. It keeps us going.

Dick Clark is an American icon. I am honored that he has entrusted me with such a role in this national tradition.

I knew I could control one thing, and that is my time and my hours and my effort and my efficiency.
