Quotes By Howard Stern

Late night television is ready for someone like me... standards have gone to an all-time low.

My show was revolutionary, ground-breaking. When I came on the scene, people were not doing a thing.

I feel blessed, I really feel fulfilled.

Every time I went on the radio, I would take the crummiest radio station, the station that was like a toilet bowl. I would go on there and build up the ratings, so you couldn't do any worse.

I believe I am doing the work for humanity. This show is so uplifting.

I think people of lesser talent will become stars.

I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose.

Yes, I believe blue material is funny, but if that's all you've got, you're dead in the water. It's not good.

I'm not looking for a paycheck.

I wanted to go hide. I wasn't looking to be more famous, I'm famous enough.

I've actually apologized to some people I was a real jerk to, because I feel ashamed. I didn't need to be that hungry. There was something going on inside me when I was angry and feeling very threatened and not feeling good about myself.

I seem to be some sort of lightning rod. I just really irritate people, you know? I really do.

You've got to be a little vicious. You've got to be narcissistic. You've got to be on fire about your career.

I've come to appreciate other people's talents.

I will never feel successful.

I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.

I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene.

There are things that I won't do on the radio. I mean, the next logical question is, what won't you do. I say, well, you know, you've got to find out when you're on the air.

It's no treat being in bed with me.

We are busy planning the launch of the channel. I am busy planning all kinds of events that go on the channel without me. I have started producing a sound for the channel.

I'm on the air five hours, and I blurt out anything in my head. Dangerous? Maybe.

'The New York Times' list is a bunch of crap. They ought to call it the editor's choice. It sure isn't based on sales.

I'm the voice of honesty.

I don't talk about my salary.

I think I'm probably a little too desperate to be successful.

What a crazy idea to put me on a family show!

If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing, if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.

And rather than hide that, I would rather put that out on the radio and let someone see the full range of emotions. If you're going to be strong on the radio, you got to let it all out, even the ugly stuff. And you can't apologize for it.
