| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | [of Rich Fields]: Rich Fields is the glue that holds “The Price is Right” together. His voice makes me feel safe. He is the unsung hero of the show. |
| 2 | [of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt]: Yeah… but they live in France! There’s an NBC deal there. NBC hosted the Globes, and they have a deal to talk to the people who come to the Globes. Here’s what I realized when I went down there. I realized quickly that’s against the rules to walk down onto the carpet from the platform. Then we went back down there and caught up with Tom Cruise, who I think is a terrific guy. I think he’s really cool. By the way, have you seen his skin tone up close lately? You should! |
| 3 | [of his on- and off-screen rivalry with Simon Cowell, who used to be one of the judges]: We are as competitive as two individuals can be, but there was a time when we both didn’t have anything. There was a time when, I know, he lost all of his money, and I certainly came here with a Honda Prelude, so I didn’t have anything either. So I think there’s a part of us that really is driven to be successful?… However, it’s kind of a fun-and-games thing, where we try and one-up one another. |
| 4 | [Who jokingly said about Simon Cowell getting married]: I hope that if they are building a life together, there aren’t too many mirrors around to distract him from his girlfriend! |
| 5 | If Simon does get married it would be an even bigger event than the Oscars. I’m still not convinced that there’s going to be a wedding, because I have known him for so long and I’m waiting for this to be a big practical joke. I’m expecting him to put out a press release like the Jonas Brothers, saying I too have given out a commitment ring. I honestly don’t think there will be a wedding. |
| 6 | [on his romance with Teri Hatcher]: I think we can assume that we’ve been together. If I wanted to have my picture taken I would have gone to a popular celebrity restaurant. The Ivy, [the restaurant where he was photographed with Hatcher] was far out of town. That was a surprise to me. |
| 7 | [on the departure of Paula Abdul, who was one of the judges]: So the news that Paula Abdul is leaving “American Idol” stunned me last night. She’s a dear friend, I love her to death, and it’s really sad that it’s come to fruition. I’m just bummed and I think if you were to talk to Randy or Simon they’d say the same thing. It’s just sad. It bums us out. |
| 8 | [on Paula Abdul]: The rumors? They’re not true. She’s part of our family. And we love her. |
| 9 | [on Dick Clark]: I saw him recently, and he was in a fantastic mood. I know he loves this show and loves being in Times Square. What’s great about Dick is he doesn’t need much of a plan. |
| 10 | [on the death of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew]: We’re praying for her. I sent her an email to share my sorrow for what she went through and asked her if there was anything we could do. |
