I'm about being honest and knowing that people are watching, and they want to know that I'm asking questions that they want the answers to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some people, you have to grit your teeth in order to stay in the same room as them, but you get on and ask the questions you assume most of the people watching want to ask.
I'm all about building a relationship with viewers and getting to know them.
I never try and do the same show, ever. The audience controls the dynamic of the shows. Sometimes they listen, and sometimes they ask a million questions.
People always ask me, 'I don't know how you could watch that, how that affects you,' and I just tell them, 'I went through it in real life, so it's like pilots watching a 'Top Gun' movie or cyclists watching a bicycle movie,' something like that.
I don't really know much about TV and what people want to see. I'm not that well-informed about it.
I don't know what an audience wants to see but I know what I like to see.
Statistics show that many people watch our show from the bedroom. and people you ask into your bedroom have to be more interesting than those you ask into your living room. I kid you not!
I appreciate the response and the support of fans, of people who actually don't mind watching me on screen... I just don't ever want to jeopardize that.
I never watch anything I do. I really would rather just not know at all how I come across.
I think my viewers want smart, honest programming. They don't want to be told what makes them feel good.
