trying work
We are a young team, and we've been trying to work through everything.
She was the first person who got it right.
bad marriage people rap rough
I rap about a bad marriage I went through. A lot of people have been through rough times and they can relate.
kids paris hawaii
My kids have never known me not working on The Bachelor. But they've lived in Paris and Italy and been to Hawaii and Bora-Bora with me, and it's incredible to me that they've had these experiences.
thinking jeans white
My wildest tipping point moment came when I was introduced to Clint Eastwood. He was sitting there, typical Clint Eastwood, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, holding a Budweiser. He looks at me and says, "I watch your show from time to time." I just stopped. I was like, "I can't even think about that. I'm not even sure if I'm happy about that."
girl college giving
The show is escapism. If you look back to when I was in college, all the girls in the sorority houses were gathered around watching soap operas. That was the escapism, the show that was giving you something you couldn't have. Now, you go into any sorority house, there are 50 to 100 girls piled in watching The Bachelor. We are the modern-day soap opera.
cobblestone-streets stuff tiny
We are planes, trains, and automobiles, and we're always hauling stuff up these tiny cobblestone streets, so the more mobile you are, the better.
light trying world
I've been able to see the world many times over. The thing I've learned is less is more. I travel as light as possible. I try to carry on.
good-things referee ifs
I always liken it to being a referee - if you notice the referee, that's not a good thing.
cities oklahoma-city television
I started [in television] as a local sportscaster in Oklahoma City and that will always be my love. It's kind of what I live for.
sex thinking bars
Strangers come up to me in bars and tell me about their sex lives. I'm thinking, 'You think I can make it better somehow?'
air ball caught double guy hit involved last sharp time triple trying turn
All I was trying to do was turn a double play. I think the guy who hit the ball to me must have thought I had caught it in the air because it was a sharp one-hopper. It's the first time I've been involved in a triple play, and probably the last time.
great group kids last nice work
The last two years they've made great improvements and have had a great work ethic. We don't have any superstars, but we have a nice group of kids that work hard.
fact love paris shoot
I love who we chose. . . . I love the fact that we went all the way to Paris to shoot the show and end up the way it did.
