“I started blogging as a hobby, not really thinking anyone would read my site, just my friends.”
“Imagine life is like Twitter. If someone is talking crap about you, don’t reply – just block!”
“Breathing is one of the most important things we do daily. And we do it without thinking. Conscious breathing will change your life!”
“I’m not a celebrity. I don’t take myself too seriously. I know where I stand in the food chain. And no matter how much of an insider I ever become or am, I’ll still always be an outsider.”
“Addiction is awful, unless you’re addicted to improving your life.”
“When I go to parties, people recognize me and that’s another contact, another tool in my bag of tricks. I don’t even have a publicist. I work it.”
“I was one of the first to use the online medium as a way to talk about celebrity news in as close to real time as possible. I was lucky to be one of the first. I also worked hard, and put in the hours – probably 16 to 17 a day.”
“Don’t ask for or expect all the answers at once. It’s a lot easier to digest knowledge in chunks.”
“If you give advice to someone else, make sure it’s something you would adhere to. Follow your own advice.”
“Choose happy and put in the hours like a job to make your choice a lifestyle.”
“I think what I do is noble. I think my job title is entertainer. I shine the light on celebrities behaving badly, and I also shine the light on those that get it right.”
“In my own subservient way, I am trying to make the world a better place. I will push the envelope. I’m not afraid to offend or be dangerous, whatever – because I can. It’s my website. I can do whatever I want.”
“Understanding is an evolved state of awareness. Mix that in with compassion and you’re well on your way.”
“Unrealistic expectations are a dream crusher. Like a really bad sequel to one of your favorite movies of all time.”
“Thankfully, readers send a lot of stuff. They see stories in their local newspaper. Or friends of mine email me, what they heard or saw. I’m very plugged in.”
“Cheap sunglasses can be just as, if not more fun, than expensive ones. Save that money, honey!”
“Ignoring it won’t deny its existence. It will just delay it. But better to plan and conquer than wait and wither.”
“Your feelings or lack of energy, can change drastically in hours, or even minutes! And you have the power to change it all.”
“The map is within you. Bring out the magnifying glass if you need help with directions. You don’t need to ask anyone else.”
“I get stories because people know that I will never lie or make things up or pay for information. I apply a journalistic standard to my work.”
“If I was the kind to have regrets, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing.”
“I realize my time is now because I’m young and things are hot and happening. I may be yesterday’s news next year.”
“I’m doing things on my own terms. I don’t have to answer to anyone but me.”
“There’s only one me. I’m obsessed with pop culture and celebrity. I used to be an actor, I used to be a journalist, and I used to be a publicist. I know how all these people think.”
“Whether you like me or not, I’m not going away anytime soon. And I don’t care if you like me. I just care if you read my website.”
