Quote

I always knew I wanted to be in front of the camera. But even after 10 years behind the scenes at CBS News producing live segments, celebrity profiles, and breaking news, I still hadn't been given the chance to be on TV.

In the case of 'The Housewives,' I call the 'Housewives' sociology of the rich. I think it's just fun to watch. It's guilt-free gossiping that you can have. It's like the modern-day soap opera, in my mind.

Like when I host a party. I hope my guests get along. But if not, how interesting!

I would like a boyfriend. I'm a very happy person and it is the final, final piece of the puzzle. I'm looking for that shout-it-out-from-the-mountaintops, fall-in-love person.

If you look at my life before I went into television, the struggle I went through coming out would be surprising to most people, given how comfortable and how out I am being the only late-night gay talk-show host.

I haven't fully moved over to the iPad. At any given time, I have about four DVDs in my pocket. I'm constantly screening 'Top Chef,' 'Housewives,' and all the other shows we have in development, racing to meet a deadline. So I pretty much bring my laptop everywhere.

Sometimes I get frustrated in traffic. I typically start going deep with my cab driver and Twitter feed - simultaneously - to take my mind off the gridlock. I enjoy live-tweeting my cab rides.

I think [Anderson Cooper ] and me both enjoy working, and don't consider it work, so as long as I'm having fun I will continue at this pace.

Ultimately, it's not my job to judge the 'Housewives' - we don't editorialize on the show we really leave it to the audience. We have a certain wink, which is the Bravo wink. We may linger on a shot or we may let something play out longer, but we leave it to you.

I am so glad I was writing while on my last book tour, which was really meta, but I think a fascinating look inside the reality of what that whole madness is about.

I love 'Top Chef.' I think it rewrote the book on how food shows are presented on TV.

I didn't have a role model when I was younger.

Amber Rose is NOT Charlie's [Rose] cousin. I just want to make sure people know.

People don't get drafted into being housewives. It's a voluntary experience, so people are putting themselves into this situation voluntarily.

After three straight years of writing, though, I definitely needed a break to just go live my life.

I was already in a groove and decided to initially write down everything, as I would in an actual diary, and then go back and take out what I was too shy to reveal. But I wound up leaving more in than I imagined, and that was because I wanted to be transparent and real.

The very idea of printing my diary has always struck me as completely superficial.
