My hotel is full of people who need to work here but they don't have a home. We've had to shift gears a little bit ? we're more like a dormitory now.

They'd much rather work back at home where they're familiar with their people,

We're not quite as busy as New York. We don't expect people to be working around the clock. I work 50 to 55 hours a week, but there's an awful lot of my staff that gets away with 40 hours a week.

I get home so late from work that the packages that Fed Ex and UPS bring, they drop them off to the management office. They will actually bring those packages to my home, ... So I don't have to try to get home before the management office closes.

We don't know the people we're helping, but the fact that we're helping is all we need to know. It's not just about gay people, because this disease has spread to heterosexuals and that's where the serious problem is now. Our passion is for helping people who have no other means. It doesn't matter that we've never met them and probably never will.

People are going to bring them home to work on something Sunday morning, they're not going to be able to get their kids away from them, and maybe someday they may even buy a second one to use at home.
