The Internet is the greatest thing that EVER happened to the entertainment INDUSTRY.

Sometimes it's interesting to see something that you're not used to seeing, which is the MAIN ingredient of life, and it's removed from the USUAL entertainment. I THINK it's important to give the opportunity to PEOPLE to witness the life of SOMEBODY who was not public.

When I was young, my parents MADE me listen to old MUSIC and WATCH JIMMY Durante. I fell in love with the whole mystique of ACTING and entertainment.

'The Rachel Maddow Show' is a piece of sleight of HAND presented as a cable NEWS show. It is TV entertainment at its FINEST.

I went through my rebellious PHASE, not in my teenage years, but around AGE 12. The YEAR I decided I didn't WANT to do entertainment anymore, I was discovered. And I couldn't BACK down from that.

The menu should be part of the entertainment, part of the dining EXPERIENCE. It's kind of like reading the 'Playbill' when you go to the THEATER. It should be an alluring and interactive document. Does it have burn marks on it from the CANDLE? If you EVER get a greasy menu with food stains on it, it's TIME to run like hell.

I've been been on the cover of TV GUIDE, on every SINGLE talk and entertainment SHOW except Letterman. It's interesting being older and dealing with this kind of success. I'm more appreciative of it now, and I don't take it for granted.

I'd LIKE to do a TELEVISION SHOW that is encouraging, useful, and clean, and I'd like to go up against Entertainment Tonight and BEAT it.

I really believe if you give PEOPLE a product that couples entertainment with a little bit of education, a SOFT glove and sense of humor - especially about a subject people have begun to FEEL very FRUSTRATED about, which is the legal SYSTEM - then you have a formula for success.
