Follow your passion. Be yourself, but check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Just go with your gut and communicate.
I talk, watch TV, spout opinions, schmooze, negotiate, talk some more, play games, and have a little cocktail.
Like when I host a party. I hope my guests get along. But if not, how interesting!
The one guiding principle over my 23-year career in TV has been as long as I'm having fun, I really don't care what the job title is.
I'm big on being positive. I'm generally so positive and happy. I just always felt that I was exactly where I wanted to be. And things have continued to go in great directions.
I never say I work in television, I say I get to work in television.
In the case of 'The Housewives,' I call the 'Housewives' sociology of the rich. I think it's just fun to watch. It's guilt-free gossiping that you can have. It's like the modern-day soap opera, in my mind.
I wanted to tell a dream-come-true story about going from a closeted gay kid who loved pop culture to an out adult man making pop culture. I went from being told when I was 21 that I should never go on TV because of my crossed eyes to winding up being a 'Housewives' whisperer and talk-show host.
McDonalds used to be my favorite place to eat, until my metabolism changed in my late 30s. Before that, I would have no hesitation about walking into McDonalds and getting two cheeseburgers and fries and enjoying every last bite.
I love divas. Madonna, Mariah, Beyonce, Britney.
If you look at the people who make up the Bravo landscape from Jeff Lewis to Rachel Zoe and Padma Lakshmi and Tabatha Coffey and the 'Millionaire Matchmaker,' these are very strong personalities that people love to watch and that you... don't see anywhere else.
Dreams are really boring, but every so often I threw in a doozy.
I usually do drive-by insults, and keep moving until I realize the next day how horrible I am.
I may be a man, but I fight like a girl.
When you're taking your one-thousandth selfie of the day that might be the moment you try to kill the person by lethal hugging!
Ultimately, it's not my job to judge the 'Housewives' - we don't editorialize on the show; we really leave it to the audience. We have a certain wink, which is the Bravo wink. We may linger on a shot or we may let something play out longer, but we leave it to you.
It's so mental how I looked in the '90s. The fact that I thought my ponytail was a good thing - it was just terrible. Cutting it off was so monumental.
I think [Anderson Cooper ] and me both enjoy working, and don't consider it "work," so as long as I'm having fun I will continue at this pace.
I love the term "everything is copy," attributed to Nora Ephron, which was my guiding principle as I wrote.
I love getting into restaurants and getting free stuff - that part of fame I definitely enjoy!
I've been gay since the day I was born.
I'm an NRA-certified Expert Rifleman.
I'm actually interested and enthusiastic. Even when I walk into a show not knowing much about my guest, I always come away as more of a fan or enthusiast.
I would like a boyfriend. I'm a very happy person and it is the final, final piece of the puzzle. I'm looking for that shout-it-out-from-the-mountaintops, fall-in-love person.
