I Think If The Content Is Good And The Content Is Interesting, The At Home Viewer Will Watch It For As Long As The Story Is Interesting Thus The Responsibility For Making The Story Interesting Falls On The Shoulders Of The Reporter Or The Producer. Then I'm Disappointed That Producers Have Felt That Television Can Only Be Told In 59 Second Story Bursts Because We've Become, It's Become Journalism Based On Mtv, Video Electronic Editing And Cutting.

There Are Some People Who Get Money Just Because They've Got Large Families. So If It Pays To Make Large Families And Earn More Money Than You Would Earn Out At Work, Why Not Have More Families, Larger Families? That's Wrong.

Nobody Would Watch Lifestyles Of The Poor And The Unknown.

Television Has Certainly Become A Wasteland Of Quality Programming.

Travel Is Very Subjective. What One Person Loves, Another Loathes.

I Think That The Spirit Of America Is Still Very Much One Of Where People Want To Work Hard And The Majority Of People Want To Work Hard. They Want To Be Entrepreneurs. But When You Have That All Taken Away With Government Regulation Or With Government Overbearance Of Taxation, You Start To Wonder Whether If It's Even Worthwhile Because Who Are You Really Working For? Are You Working For Yourself, Are You Working For The Government? In The End, This Wealth Distribution Scheme That's At The Heart Of The Current Political Administration Is An Inherently Wrong One.

The Path That We Are Headed On Economically In America Is One That Leads To Total Ruination Of The American System.

It Is Usually People In The Money Business, Finance, And International Trade That Are Really Rich.

I Built The Ideal House Down In The Caribbean. All Englishmen Dream Of Leaving The Rain Of England And Getting A Place In The Sun - Out In The Grounds With Separate Guest Houses; That Is The Ideal Scenario.

It's The People Who Work Hard And Earn Big That Keep The Machine Tipping For Everybody Else. If Everybody Else Was Equal Down The Bottom Rung Of A Ladder, Nobody Would Be On The Ladder At All Because It Would Break And Everybody Would Fall Off Backwards. So You Need People At The Top To Help Pull Those People Up From The Bottom. You Can't Take That And Swing To The Right. You Can't Have Everybody Living In The Same Ordinary $60,000 House Because You May As Well Live In Russia, Bulgaria Or Some Other Eastern Block Communist Nation.

I Would Never Go Back To Doing The Show Again. I Mean, Every Day I Think About Lifestyles Because Somebody Comes Up To Me And Tells Me How Much They Love The Show And I Should Bring It Back, But This Is Not The Time To Bring It Back. I Don't Think It Would Be As Successful Today As It Once Was.

Travel Is Very Subjective. What One Person Loves, Another Loathes. I Would Say A Private Paradise In The Caribbean. If You Want Culture And Class, I Would Say Tuscany. If You Want Exotic, I Would Say Bangkok, Thailand.

These Days I'm Headquartered Out Of Las Vegas, Which Is What I Consider And The World Considers To Be The Entertainment Capital Of The Globe. It's Been Interesting Because I've Seen The Rise Of Vegas And In Recent Years I've Seen The Fall Of Vegas. It's Now Interesting To Take A Look At It As It Begins Its Bounce Back Again.

You Can't Reward People Who Don't Want To Work With More Money Than They Would Make While They Were Working.

It's Tragic What America Has Become Because There Is A Great Segment Of Society That Now Resents Luxury And Success And Achievement By Others.

It's The Reason Why So Many People Left Britain Like I Did In The Mid 60s Because Britain Was Exactly The Same Then As America Is Today, Getting Ready To Redistribute Social Wealth And It Didn't Work. You've Seen That In Places Like Greece, Portugal, Iceland, Ireland Where The Entire Country's Business Has Collapsed, Gone Bankrupt. That's Where America Is Heading.

I'm Convinced That If The Same Opportunities Were Made Available To Everybody, People Would Want To Better Their Lot In Life.

In Italy, They Add Work And Life On To Food And Wine.

I'm Disappointed In Television. I'm Disappointed First Of All In The Audience That Will Not Let Stories Be Told In Longer Form.

The System Is Wrong Where It Rewards The Lack Of Interest In Work With Money, So You Don't Have To Work.

I'm Not A Politician. I Don't Pretend To Be A Politician. I'm An Independent.

I Like To See Things Start, Grow, And Then Move On To Better Things.

They Say That Art Comes From The Soul. The More Drama In An Artist's Life, The More He Can Draw On For His Art. Van Gogh And Picasso Had Troubled Souls, But Poor Steve Kaufman Has Been Shot Once, Stabbed 3 Times - All By Women. That Is A Lot Of Drama For Great Art.

Never Give Up If You Really Want Something, Keep Plugging Away At It And Your Dreams Can Come True.

People Are Living Such Miserable Lives Economically. They Want The Escape. They Want The Fantasy. They'd Love The Dream Of Being King For A Day Or Queen For A Day.

Celebrities Are Nowhere As Rich As Some People Think They Are.

When I Interview People, And They Give Me An Immediate Answer, They're Often Not Thinking. So I'm Silent. I Wait. Because They Think They Have To Keep Answering. And It's The Second Train Of Thought That's The Better Answer.

Train Of Thought

The Great Thing Is These Days I No Longer Have To Work For A Living And That All Of The Things That I'm Able To Do Where Money Is Paid As Compensation For Whatever It Be, I'm Able To Donate All Of That To Charity. That's A Wonderful Position To Find Yourself In At The Latest Stages Of Your Life And I'm Proud To Have Walked The Path That I Have And I'm Proud To Be Able To Continue Working And To Be Able To Give Away What I Earn To Some Very Good Causes Here In The Southwest.

Finding Yourself

Everything In Television Is Dumbing Down Even Further And It Won't Stop Until Somebody Dies.

It Hurts To See That Everything On Television Is Based On Pillaring People. Nobody's Sort Of Given The Opportunity To Be Nice Anymore. I Think That Is Somewhat Reflective Of Tragically The Society That We Live In Today Where We Want To Know People Off Their Pedestal Or We Want To Hurt, We Want To Harm Instead Of Boosting And Following By Example. It's Always About The Crud Of Society, The Black Sheep Of Society That Producers Seem To Think The Public Wants Rather Than My Old Theory Of The Cream Rising To The Top.

Whoever Would Have Guessed That In The Land Of Cheap Sausages And Mashed Potatoes There Could Be Such A Change Which Would Actually Bring The French From Paris Every Weekend To Invade Britain En Masse To Eat Great Food And Drink Great Wine.

I Am A Creator Of Tv Shows. 'lifestyle' Ran For 14 Years... That Was Pleasurable. We Also Had 'runaway' For Eight Years. We Did Two Years Of A Show Called 'the Start Of Something Big', And We Did A Network Series Called 'fame, Fortune And Romance.'

So, You're Seeing The Rolls-royces And The Bentley's Still Selling For Big Prices. You're Seeing Jewelry Still Selling, Art Works At Auction. There Was A Diamond That Sold For I Think 38 Million, 48 Million, Something Like That Just A Week Ago. So Prices Are Back Up To Their Highs, Getting Stronger And More And More People Seem To Have More And More Money To Spend.

If We Can Make America Great Again And If We Can Get Everybody Working And Bettering Their Lot In Life, Then This Becomes The Great Country That It Once Was, That It's Ceased To Be.

You Know, I Run The Vegas Deluxe Website And That Really Is 24 Hours A Day, Seven Days A Week. And We Have More Stars Going Through This City With Shows. We Have More Disc Jockeys Playing In Nightclubs Here, We Have More Parties, More Of Everything Than Any Other City In The World. So It's Non-stop.
