Zitat des Tages von Jerry Springer:
We can't just have mainstream behavior on television in a free society, we have to make sure we see the whole panorama of human behavior.
I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.
Somebody once said I had a face for radio and a voice for newspapers.
My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican - just because I think reporters are smart.
All of us, whether or not we're celebrities, every one ought to spend part of their life making someone else's life better.
I'm always playing a role, whether it's the role of the mayor, the role of a news anchor, or a role of a crazy talk-show host. But there was a specific function. 'On Dancing With The Stars', I had nothing to do but be me, schlepping around the floor. And when I host 'America's Got Talent', that's really me just talking to regular folks.
To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.
When I was first on 'Dancing With The Stars', people were really shocked and surprised.
It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.
I watch sports and cable news. I'm a political junkie, so that's my interest.
I treat politics kind of like my religion. It's something I believe in, but I don't want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.
I don't live in Hollywood. I don't have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don't pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.
We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.
I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.
