And it's the one ingredient that radio has that television does not that if used properly, if perfected and learned and executed properly, it can have a much greater impact than TV because it can create a much more intimate, direct connection with the audience.

Going from three TV channels to broadcast TV to cable to talk radio; obviously the online explosion has changed things.

Radio and TV don't have the power like they used to. With the Internet, people can pick. You can't hide talent no more.
The hardest part of fame and success is adapting to the people around you that's changing. It changes the way people look at you from how they used to look at you. They listen to you on the radio, they look at you on TV and when people speak on you in a good light, you have a couple people who hold grudges.
While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.
