It was made to my body, they mold it to my body. It was difficult. It was not an easy feat to get that to stay up on the body. The first night we realized, ‘Um, I think we’re going to have to do something about this situation We rigged it with a little bit of invisible fishing wire.

Zap2It interview
Cena speaks to Zap2It about Daniel Bryan’s popularity and CM Punk.
Predicting the next WWE Superstar is like predicting the crooked stock market at the turn of the 19th century. You just can’t. That’s what’s beautiful about the WWE audience, that’s why I love it so much. It changes everyday, every arena, every city. I don’t know who will be next but I will keep trying to put people front and center so the WWE Universe gets a good look at people.

It was weird growing up in figure skating because all the guys I competed with were straight, everybody that I toured with was straight. Like I was one of the only ones, I know because they had girlfriends and stuff like that so I was always really quiet about who I was personally. After the Olympics in fact my agent at the time said, “you got to go on these talk shows and you know say that you want to get married and stuff. I don’t know if your gay or not”. I was like “Oh my God, how did he know I’m gay?” because I was in this world of all these strait guys competing, you know. I didn’t even know that people thought that figure skaters might be gay.

King on interviewing guests:
I left myself out of it. I didn’t use the word “I”. I asked short questions, listened to the answer. Listening is as important as what you ask because you have to follow up. I try to put guests at ease. I think it’s intrinsic, I was naturally curious. I still am.
The Talks interview
Hurt gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses the industry in the 70’s/80’s and the future.
I think one should be very careful of making things cut and dried or simplistic in that sense. For everything that you find dreadful, there’s usually something that is rather marvelous as well. And where humanity is going to find itself in say 20, 30, 40, or 50 years would be very difficult to predict, I think. There are moments of course when you think that it’s going from bad to worse, but there are other moments when you think that human efforts are really flowering into something really fantastic. It’s not something that can be either dismissed or accepted with any kind of simplicity.
Shape Magazine interview

Jennifer Lopez interview
Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks her what she hopes her boyfriends Valentines Day plans are.
I just like something that has some thought put into it. I don’t need like big gifts. I want to feel like you put some time into it and you really thought about it I always say it takes more time to go out and pick a card than it does to buy a quick present.
Queen Latifah interview
Seacrest interviews Queen Latifah during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about how she felt marring 33 cuples at the same time during Grammy Awards show.
I was very emotional because outside of all of the hype of everything – it being the Grammys, it being a world stage, all of the musical performances, the fact that it’s Mackelmore, Ryan Lewis, and Madonna and Mary Lambert – there’s 33 couples out there who are taking the biggest step of their lives probably. Who are actually making a commitment and it’s scary! It’s exciting! It’s wonderful! So I really tried to just focus on them and the love they have for each other to actually make that commitment.
Kid Ink interview
Seacrest interviews Kid Inc during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his collaboration with Chris Brown on the single Show Me.
Really it was the blessing of social networking. It was me really me reaching out on direct messaging. I said I was finishing the album, ‘Do you want to come check anything out?’ And I had just moved at the time that was close to where he stays, so it wasn’t a struggle to be like, ‘Let’s go down the street to the studio and record and listen to some records. And he came through. I played him about three different records, ‘Show Me’ being the first one, and I knew that was a record that was really special to me at the time, but it was still missing a little something. [He] went in the booth and gave it all the energy it needed at that time and it was like, ‘Yeah, that’s the one. We got it!’ But I didn’t tell him that’s the one,” he laughs, “so we could keep going and we did about three records that night.
