I'm engaged: I'm interested in other people. I think that's just as important as knowing how to do the job.

When you're part of history, you don't know it. You're just sort of living your life.

Survivor' was, to me, an absolute reaction that the audience was having to the sort of staid nature of narrative drama on television.

I'm a voyeur. I say that with no embarrassment. If I could have a superpower, being invisible would be it, no question. I'm fascinated by human behavior; observing people and seeing how much story gets told without a lot of dialogue, and how much our brain fills in.

The most important characteristic that has allowed me to succeed is confidence. I have always been comfortable in my own skin, and even when I was just starting out in my career, had the strength and self-assurance to ask tough questions and push for answers.

I have worked hard in my career, but I have been lucky as well.

Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.

There have been times in my career when people thought I was a pushover, especially as they saw me as this smiley guy.
