“I'm still me, no matter if I'm gay or straight or whatever.”

“As far as radio goes, it really isn't what listeners get; it's how they get it. Social media gives us new and fun ways to stay more directly connected to people who listen to us, and it also helps us make decisions faster.”

“I don't think of me as, quote, 'coming out,' because I was never 'in.' I rarely, if ever, spoke about my private life and remain as neutral as possible.”

“One of our rules for the show, I guess the filter we try to pass everything through, is it's a safe place for women to be. It's not a show for women, because we're basically 50/50 men/women in our audience, but it's a safe place where women win. Women never lose on our show. I think that's very important. It's very unusual.”

“Our sole mission on this show is to make people think, make people feel, and make people happy as much as we can.”

“I really think there are many great organizations out there getting the word out about LGBT youth and bullying, but GLAAD has this way of making sure the stories about gay people are sent out and heard and not covered up, and I like that.”

“Radio was always a fun, geeky thing to be a fan of - the history of radio, where it is, and where it's going - but it was really also a pretty easy job.”

“I definitely don't ever see a time I want to retire. Ever.”

“Traditional radio is not going to die; it's going to evolve.”

“I was never hiding from being gay; I just never talked about it.”

“To be the Grand Marshal of the most recognized Halloween parade in the world is so much fun. People plan for months and months to design their costumes, and it is amazing. It is a true competition and amazing to watch everyone.”

“If I played golf, I'd be on the golf course every day, but I just can't wear those dumb pants.”

“I have no deep desire to hit the pavement and audition for TV projects or raise money to produce a show.”

“I am honored to be named Godfather for Norwegian Bliss. This incredible ship and all the innovative activities onboard, from the race track to Broadway shows, perfectly reflect the energy and excitement of our morning show, and we are looking forward to bringing our loyal listeners along for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

“I miss being able to pig out sometimes.”

“I love taking time with an interview. Time with an artist relaxes them; it makes them want to be there and answer all your questions.”

“I think interviews are good when you are an actual fan of the person you are interviewing.”

“I don't think we have to make a big thing about being gay, except for when we get together for these gay pride events.”

“I never interned. The first job I ever had was a very low-paying job, and the guy running the radio station was so poor, he couldn't pay us sometimes - so it's almost like an internship, right?”

“I had a little radio, and I listened to music in my bedroom when I was supposed to be sleeping. I was probably 6 or 7 years old, and I loved the DJs who would come on and talk about the artists and the songs they were singing, and they gave away prizes. I was like, 'This is a cool job!'”
