Obviously I wanted to be a bus driver – and I still do. If only I could get a part time job.
Country comes before politics.
I should get a weekend show where all I do is play country music.
The bias against the show is purely elitist. We’re all like the people on the show – the difference is that some of us speak better, or were born richer. There’s nothing that happens on my show that rich people don’t experience.
If you can’t be committed to another person, at least be committed to the concept of character and don’t cheat.
Vegetarianism is a good idea.
We can’t just have mainstream behavior on television in a free society, we have to make sure we see the whole panorama of human behavior.
My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican – just because I think reporters are smart.
I watch sports and cable news. I’m a political junkie, so that’s my interest.
You fight to defend a lover, not to win one. If you do, it isn’t love.
With a face like mine, I do better in print.
Somebody once said I had a face for radio and a voice for newspapers.
I’m liberal, but I watch the three majors. Obviously I watch MSNBC, also CNN and Fox, which is what I would call ridiculously to the right.
I’m a happy guy, but if I’m in a rare dark mood, I won’t go out because I don’t want to be horrible to people.
I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.
I play a crazy talk-show host, but that’s not me. It’s like an actor playing a role.
We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.
No one would have picked me out in high school and said, ‘This guy is going to be in show business.’ I don’t have any of the talents you would normally associate with show business.
I treat politics kind of like my religion. It’s something I believe in, but I don’t want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.
I don’t live in Hollywood. I don’t have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don’t pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.
Love is great for us, but we don’t always love who is great for us.
