It's much easier to get a reception from someone if there is an introduction versus randomly trying to get in front of people.

I want an audience that will come sitting forward in their seats.

I would like to sit down with Oprah, just because I'd like to talk to her. I want to sit down and, like, converse. Like, 'Honey, let's chat!'

Our position is that we can sit down and talk to try to solve our problems through dialogue.

In this world, conversations are negotiations for closeness in which people try to seek and give confirmation and support, and to reach consensus. They try to protect themselves from others' attempts to push them away.

With guests who are 'in the middle of the fight,' we're able to hear their point-of-view on the topics, as well as advance our own feelings.

My table seats eight, so that's my maximum. Having a small number of guests is the only way to generate good conversation. Besides, your whole house doesn't get wrecked that way.

We have this incredible ability to communicate with each other. I want to play around with it, see what this mass audience is really capable of.

For people to be able to sit down together and have a conversation, that's the power of love.
