have to go there. i am going to force her to go there. so when i thought about what that friendship means to me, that is what brought the tears. i m not going to cry now but it s pretty special and i really do, did mean that i would wish for every person on earth to experience somebody to care for them and to know them in such a way that they only want the best for you. but to have somebody who is a friend and you would know this too, that when you become famous and you have access to lots of different things, you know, a lot of people lose oxygen and they can t make the summit with you. so to be able to have somebody who not only can make the summit but stand at the summit with you
and rejoice in your being able to make it what i would have loved to have seen when you were so emotional about the friendship was gayle s reaction. how did she react to what you were saying? gayle didn t see it until we were actually in australia. sh he said, i m in my hotel room, watching the barbara walters show. that s so nice. that s so nice of you. she goes, i want to meet gayle king. gayle king sounds like such a nice person. i want her to be my friend, that is what she said. the thing i know about you, absolutely, unequivocally, is that everything you touch is a hit. yes. well, that is no, that is not true. let s assume it is for a moment. but it is not true. could you just. go along with the program. could you just touch me. i ve got a hit. i have got a hit.

even in david s eyes. i could feel him feeling what this journey had been for the both of us and what this really meant for me. it was the first time i really got it. what does it mean to you, to actually have a network in your own name? well, i would have to say it is really difficult for me, still, to wrap my brain around what all of that really means. it just is. it s so funny. i got an e-mail from my friend, gayle, who was at the party in vegas with jay-z and all those guys. she sent me an e-mail after she had seen it and said, oh, my god, there is real commercials, like other networks. there are like real commercials. gayle was like, the fact that you have commercials like other stations have commercials means it is really a network.
