Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.
My sense of humor lies a little closer to the middle.

I think the success of a talk show depends on how true it is to the personality of the person hosting it. The shows I really admire, like ‘Oprah’ and ‘Ellen,’ are distinctively like their hosts, so I think my show will be successful only if we try to stay consistent to my own sense of myself.
