I really consider myself very fortunate over the years to have the experiences that I had and to be able to come out on top tonight means the world. It's been a long road and it's a lot of hard.

Who knows, I have always lived one day at a time. Probably more adventure and excitement.

I'm a kid from Boston.

I know I'm not musically talented.

I am biased to my show as a whole but it is still very entertaining.

I have been able to travel all over the country and see many places that I probably never would have visited. I have also participated in many charity events for worthy causes.

Sometimes when the going gets tough, people give up.

Learning to drive is a scary thing for a parent. I had to basically lie to get the keys when I was a kid.

I think people have come to know me, and I don't deviate too much as an individual. What you see is what you get.

Things have slowed down considerably since the new series has started airing and I am currently looking for work. It has been a nice year-long vacation nonetheless.

I love adventure, so I'm excited to be working on something new and making the transition from reality show contestant to host.

Death is the easy part, the hard part is living and knowing you could be so much more then you’re willing to be.

I think some aspects of writing can be taught. Obviously, you can't teach vision or talent. But you can help with comfort.

There is a valid reason why they say live everyday as if it were your last, the truth is...., there is no tomorrow - just today

We tried not to smile, for smiling only encourages men to bore you and waste your time.

I just want to throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.

It's our insides that make us who we are, that allow us to dream and wonder and feel for others. That's what's essential. That's what will always make the biggest difference in our world.

You cannot be afraid to speak up and speak out for what you believe. You have to have courage, raw courage.

I like to work with really good professional people - anyone with real talent.

I always give money to a sidewalk con if the story is a good one, even if I don't believe a word of it. Art deserves to get paid.

What is truth? For the multitude, that which it continually reads and hears.
