Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop.
I've been called a point guard, I've been called a traffic cop, I've been called a ringmaster, a lion tamer, whatever. And I guess the thing about the traffic cop is I'm more of a rogue traffic cop because a good traffic cop doesn't want any fender benders.
We did such a great job of creating the interstate highway system in Oklahoma City that we don't have traffic congestion. You can actually get a speeding ticket during rush hour in the city. That's how great our traffic flows.
People are sitting in traffic longer, and the types of solutions that are needed to relieve that congestion are ones that are paid for by the Highway Trust Fund.

Know my feelings about traffic laws? Cop didn't see it? I didn't do it.
When I went through the Simpson case, I was a cop. Then I was a good cop. Then I was a bad cop. Then I had the media camped out in front of my house when I retired. Then, you know, I am the evilest thing on the planet. Then I write a few books, and then I start getting involved, like the Martha Moxley case.
I really think a good host is just a connector. I'm more traffic cop than star. My job is to get people on and off the program, and hopefully keep the audience entertained.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap has never argued with a traffic cop.
If I play a cop, it's always a racist cop or a trigger-happy cop or a crooked cop - but by and large I play cowboys, bikers, and convicts.
I never in my life saw myself as a game show host. I don't want to be a traffic cop.
Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.
Had I not been a choreographer, I would have become nothing more than a traffic cop or peon in an office.
We have to understand that people are different. I don't know, if we really understand who we're dealing with over there.
