“People thought I was dead. That was a weird thing.”

“We'll play Blue's Clues to figure out what Blue wants to do!”

“I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years, I never forgot you. Ever. And I'm super glad we're still friends.”

“Use your mind. Take a step at a time. You can do anything that you wanna do!”

“Look at all you have accomplished in all that time. And some of it has been kind of hard, you know? I know it has.”

“I was going bald and I was not going to be doing children's television in a toupee.”

“The show is not about me. It’s about the kids. The star of the show is the child who is watching it.”

“I realize that was kind of abrupt.”

“Blue's Clues is really kind of about the Socratic method and critical thinking. It’s about trying and failing and trying again.”

“I'm really proud of the fact that the show is about kindness and emotional intelligence.”

“I'm not a kid's host. I'm a guy. It's a job. It's a great job, by the way, but it's a job.”

“I wanted to go to art school, and I was a burgeoning indie rock dude... the last thing I wanted to do was be a children’s television host.”
