"I think I have some interesting things to say and I don't think anybody out there is saying them"
About this Quote
There’s a particular kind of swagger in Quivers’s line: not the chest-thumping kind, but the calm insistence of someone who’s spent years being “the second mic” and knows exactly how much value that role can hide. “Interesting” is doing double duty here. It’s modest enough to dodge the charge of ego, but confident enough to stake a claim in a crowded media economy where attention is currency and novelty is the only stable brand. She’s not saying she’s the best; she’s saying the lane is weirdly empty.
The subtext is a critique of the marketplace of voices. “Anybody out there” implies a whole culture of talk - radio, TV, panels, podcasts - that should be overflowing with perspective, yet somehow fails to produce what she considers honest or distinct. It’s a quiet indictment of homogenized commentary: plenty of sound, too little signal. And it’s also a self-authorization. Quivers isn’t waiting for a gatekeeper to confer importance; she’s presenting the only credential that matters in personality-driven media: a belief that your interior life can stand up in public.
Context matters because Quivers comes from a format built on dominance and interruption. On The Howard Stern Show, she was often positioned as the counterweight: narrator, validator, skeptic, sometimes conscience. That history turns the quote into a pivot point - a celebrity who’s long been adjacent to the spotlight asserting ownership of it. In a culture that treats celebrities as interchangeable content, she’s making a rarer claim: specificity. The real flex is not fame. It’s the promise of an angle.
