I've made it a habit not to burn any bridges.

There are few celebrities that I don't know personally. And compared to the rich, most of the famous live in the poorhouse. It's much better to be rich than famous.

I've always been a gypsy.

The idea for 'Lifestyles' began to take shape in my mind as I became more and more frustrated with the type of celebrity interviews I was doing for television.

There has always been something about the biggest, the wealthiest, the best-known, the most prestigious that has appealed to me. It's always seemed to me that that is what people want to know about.

I do get to meet a lot of people, and I do get to travel quite a bit. You may laugh, but it's a tough job.
