SELECTED QUOTES ABOUT UNMASKED

Penn Jillette: “One of the best interview shows I’ve ever been on, probably the best.”

Dick Cavett: “As Groucho said when he met Steve Allen, “you’re too damn good”. You really are. I can’t spell it out in detail, but there’s something about you that a lot of them don’t have and hardly anybody that I know does.”

Alan Alda: “He really listens and he’s terrific to talk with and he laughs. I love it when you talk to someone who laughs because it makes you feel funny. It’s good. It’s really fun.”

Peter Farrelly: “I have to tell you, we’ve done hundreds of interviews over the last 20 years and I can honestly say the Ron Bennington interview that we just did is probably my all-time favorite. He was smart, incisive and opened us up in a way that we don’t open up because we knew we were dealing with a really really smart guy.”

Amy Schumer: “It felt like we were alone having coffee. He was very cool to me.”

George Schlatter: “He has the rare and annoying habit of checking facts which is almost unheard of with today’s presidential philosophy of, “I can say anything”. Ron Bennington’s truly THE best.”

Brad Garrett: “Ron has a gift. He makes you want to just be a part of the experience and before I knew I didn’t even realize how much time had elapsed. It was almost like therapy.”

Kevin Smith: “I was honored, and touched. The whole thing was really…I’m not even blowing smoke, it was cool. It was really really cool.”

Patrice O’Neal: “I don’t know how you feel about me but I like you a lot, I respect you, I think you’re one of the smartest dudes I ever heard in my life.”

Jay Mohr: “You’re going to be known for, I don’t know how to explain it.. You’re a solo; you’re Coltrain; you’re your own thing. You’re an instrument that nobody else has figured out a way to play- and its effortless– but yet we all try to pick up our instruments and try to make it sound like you.”
