On this issue Stern talked about his traumatic divorce from his ex-wife, the wild period in his personal life that followed before he met his second wife, former sidekick Artie Lange’s suicide attempt, his many years in therapy and his plans for the next five years of his radio show.
Here are some excerpts from the interview:
On his recent contract renewal:
When it came down to sort of figuring out what I was really after, I was pretty sure I was going to leave the radio. I thought I’d kind of done what I needed to do. I still enjoyed it, but I also found that I wanted time to do some other things.”
On Artie Lange:
“He said to me recently that he would be willing to come on the air and explain what happened and stuff. I don’t even feel strong enough within myself or that I’d be doing the right thing by him, because I don’t want to do the wrong thing for Artie. I just want Artie to stay alive.”
On Charlie Sheen:
“I sort of admire Charlie Sheen’s ability to say f*ck you to the world. It’s a fascinating car wreck because, you know, how many people are in Hollywood dying for a hit television show? I don’t know whether to give him a medal or to throw him in a loony bin.”
On single life after divorcing Alison:
“After my divorce, I realized, ‘Oh, wow, I can go have sex.’ And I was running around, picking up women. Then all of a sudden, it dawned on me that I really didn’t need that much sex. I just wanted somebody with me every minute. I was using women as a surrogate mother.”
