I believe that one of the things I've tried to do is work hard and take the business very seriously.

Failure? Scared to death of it.

I don't mind being the butt of the joke... It doesn't really bother me. I quite enjoy it.

I'd like to make time slow down.

If I don't wear something for a year, I give it away.

Dick Clark is an American icon. I am honored that he has entrusted me with such a role in this national tradition.

What I've figured out how to do is make people feel comfortable on television and on the radio, which enables me to have access to them, which is key for what I do.

I literally get up and get to do the one thing I dreamed about doing every day. And that is being a part of a television show and a radio show that is based in Hollywood.

I want to continue to produce shows that directly effect change.

I don't Botox. I've never Botoxed.

Trust me, if I were gay I'd be getting more action than I'm getting now.

Look, a lot of women would be turned off with hearing me say how hot I think Brad Pitt is! Know what I mean? So I probably don't help my cause.

People bring up my hair quite a bit. It's strategically tousled. The flatiron is the key.

I'm obsessed with fresh breath.

I've gone to a tanning bed.

With the evolution of technology, kids really need to be computer-savvy.

My parents would always have us, as many times as we could, sit together for dinner and talk about what was happening in our lives, and so we created a great recipe where I could be completely honest with my mother and to an extent my father, being an attorney.

I knew I could control one thing, and that is my time and my hours and my effort and my efficiency.

I hope I can help guys come out and say, 'All right, dude, I got a manicure... and I liked it.'

I've dated some women who have turned me on to some funny things that are strange for men to actually do, but these things have become part of my process. I think the things I do for my appearance help make me look better. I even colour my hair because I like how it makes me look.

When I was 10, 11, 12 years old, I would pretend to be on the radio. I bought a mixer and these big, ugly headphones and I would literally broadcast the cassette tapes in my bedroom.

It's in my blood to be on the radio every day. I've done it since I was 16 years old.

As much as we all talk about the future and how so many things are merging, there is a simplicity that is crucial.

I'm shy in my personal life.

I've never done Botox in my life. But I've probably tried everything else under the sun.
