When have you been most starstruck?
Every time I meet somebody who sings. I met Elton John, and I said [mistaking his first name], “John, I have all your albums!” And then I slunk away. But then I took a selfie with him and his husband at the Emmy Awards. Bruce Springsteen, I go numb. Brandi Carlile, she’s a fellow fishe-rperson. She’s a fly fisher-person. Oh my God, I love her. Bruno Mars, I was in the middle of an interview in a glass room at Sirius radio in New York City and Bruno Mars walked by. I said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am so sorry, I have to go now.” And I immediately left and brought him into the glass room, and I said, “I will take a grenade for you.” What did he say? He said, “I hope you do. You’re the man.”
