I've come to appreciate other people's talents.
I've actually apologized to some people I was a real jerk to, because I feel ashamed. I didn't need to be that hungry. There was something going on inside me when I was angry and feeling very threatened and not feeling good about myself.
I'm the voice of honesty.
I'm on the air five hours, and I blurt out anything in my head. Dangerous? Maybe.
I will never feel successful.
My mother was very involved with me. And we had a dialogue constantly. And it was like an umbilical cord. As long as the words were flowing back and forth we were connected and feeding each other. And I probably grew up very afraid of losing that connection.
We are busy planning the launch of the channel. I am busy planning all kinds of events that go on the channel without me. I have started producing a sound for the channel.
My show was revolutionary, ground-breaking. When I came on the scene, people were not doing a thing.
Late night television is ready for someone like me... standards have gone to an all-time low.
I think I'm probably a little too desperate to be successful.
I still feel like I gotta prove something. There are a lot of people hoping I fail. But I like that. I need to be hated.
Okay, well, I guess I'm still a kid. Because when I get really angry and fired up and I feel like my back is up against the wall, I will say vicious things.
It causes me great pain to sue the company I work for. Nevertheless, I had to do it. Suffice it to say, there's a dispute and I believe I haven't been given what is mine.
I'm not looking for a paycheck.
