You gotta strike while the iron's hot.

The best years are behind me.

At first we didn’t have a lot of access to New York City, but very quickly, I think people recognized if you were on the show that was a good thing. We always saw the show as a love letter to New York City.

I think you’re only as good as the work that you do.

It’s really hard in this day and age, with radio and MTV being so consolidated, to get new music out there. I think we’ve become a really legitimate, viable avenue for getting new music out there.

Certainly there’s got to be a little bit of reality show fatigue happening.

I’d started working when I was 21 and had been very determined about my career, very focused, even as a little kid, so it was something I had been working at for a long time.

It is my goal to learn as much about the people I’m surrounded by. I am slowly widening who I am close with, and at the same time, growing further away from others.

It’s my experience that the fluidity of sexuality with younger people is more accepted.

The press always ends up being much nicer than I expect. A lot of times they say something snarky about you, but then you meet them in person and they couldn’t be nicer.
