When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.

I'm so used to talk-show hosts just giving you a sound bite and not really being interested.

I've always had lots of friends and my house was the house they all hung out at.

I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.

We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.

It's fun for me to go on other folks' talk shows. When you've endured the ups and downs and tensions and pitfalls of hosting, being a guest is a piece of angel food.

Somewhere in the back of their minds, hosts and guests alike know that the dinner party is a source of untold irritation, and that even the dullest evening spent watching television is preferable.

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

I think people are getting bored of parties, and hosts are terrified nobody's going to show up. So they have to start entertaining them before the party even starts.
