"What I look forward to at CRS is always meeting the new artists and getting to know them before they blow up—getting to hear some of the new music they will offer us."

"I try to approach my show like an attorney. I'm building a case for whatever it is that I'm trying to argue for and just provide the best, most logical argument that I can find."

“I wouldn't have enjoyed the success that I have and got to do the things that I have done over the course of my career had it not been frankly for CRS.”

"It starts with Debbie because she’s just such a great motivator and works her tail off and she loves the industry, and that makes it great for us as well."

“While I’ve certainly experienced a lot of different situations over the course of my 18-year career, I can honestly say that the crew in my inner circle has never been anything less than wonderful.”

For Roddy, the chance to learn and share new ideas ranks high on his CRS list.

"It makes me feel good about where the show is headed and where it’s been."

“I remember keynote people that really blew me away. Terry Bradshaw comes to mind. He was one of the finest keynote speakers we ever had. Coach Lou Holtz."

"It's always a difficult thing to move on from doing what you love, but I think I'm ready for a quieter time when the phone's not ringing all the time."

“I’ve been on record before, and I'll say it again. I really credit a lot of my career success to CRS. When I first came there in the prehistoric times of the 1980s, I really was just blown away by the level of expertise, commitment, and smart people.”
