To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.
-
Showbiz is a job. I never take it too seriously. I work hard, but I never pretend it’s life or death. I’m just incredibly lucky.
-
I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.
-
Good luck to all of our guests, hope you can find some happiness in your future endeavours..., ...until next time, take care of yourself and each other.
-
We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.
-
Country comes before politics.
-
I should get a weekend show where all I do is play country music.
-
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.
-
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.
-
My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican - just because I think reporters are smart.
-
The overarching issue, as I see it, is the elitism of America's political system; the fact that regular, ordinary Americans aren't considered in policy debates or legislation, and regularly get shafted by the powers-that-be in Washington.
-
I don't want to be a celebrity.
-
It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.
-
I watch sports and cable news. I'm a political junkie, so that's my interest.
-
I'm always playing a role, whether it's the role of the mayor, the role of a news anchor, or a role of a crazy talk-show host. But there was a specific function. 'On Dancing With The Stars', I had nothing to do but be me, schlepping around the floor. And when I host 'America's Got Talent', that's really me just talking to regular folks.
-
I'm not conflicted. Because I know. There's me, and there's the show.
-
I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.
-
My campaign is based upon the proposition that the answers to the problems which currently plague our cities, our towns, and our homes, are not to be found in the decisions in Washington. They are instead to be found in the hearts, minds and resources of our own people here at home.
-
Somebody once said I had a face for radio and a voice for newspapers.
-
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.
