party guy
I'm not a party guy. I don't carouse very much.
beauty perfectionist term
I am pretty tenacious as a perfectionist in terms of getting something right.
done puppets pitching
I've never had anyone put on a puppet show to convince me of anything. And I've done a lot of stuff. I don't know that I would put the puppets on when I was pitching a show. This was the head of the studio putting a puppet show on. And I'll tell you, he wasn't bad.
thinking comedy spontaneity
But I really like hosting, I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise, and I love the spontaneity of that, and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone.
funny hair looks
I don't talk about my hair anymore because I've matured. I matured and realized it doesn't matter what you look like. It's what kind of hair you have inside that counts.
oysters performances
Oysters are supposed to enhance your sexual performance, but they don't work for me. Maybe I put them on too soon.
basketball spiritual philosophy
I play basketball on Sundays and I'm a very spiritual guy; I read a lot of Eastern philosophy and I meditate.
way would-be host
The only way I would go back to hosting would be if it were something entirely new. It would prevent me from wanting to host a standard-fare kind of talk show.
mother father men
I don't know why men are so fascinated with television and I think it has something to do with - if I may judge from my own father, who used to sit and stare at the TV while my mother was speaking to him - I think that's a man's way of tuning out.
names hiding-something dr-phil
Dr. Phil is hiding something. Otherwise, why wouldn't he use his last name?
single phones people
I'm too shy to express my sexual needs except over the phone to people I don't know.
baby nice men
Yes, I'm a nice man and I enjoy babies. I'm a sensitive guy. I held a baby the other day and it was the first time either of us cried.
television firsts carols
Carol Burnett was particularly funny. She swore for the first time on television on Larry Sanders.
relationship commitment love-is
Which is, I'm an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship.
