SOME CELEBRITY QUOTES:
"Thank you so much for having me on the tv show. It was a real pleaure working with Denise. She's a true professional, insightful and really has her act together. I really enjoyed my time on her tv show."
EDDIE MONEY
"Denise is a true professional. She makes it her business to know every aspect of her job down to the last detail. It is a joy to work with someone who is both a thorough professional and a gracious lady. Bravo!"
SUSAN OLSEN
‘The Brady Bunch’
Precious Paws animal rescue
"Having interviewed a 1,000 groups and artists over the years I have to say that being on the receiving end of the questions can make me nervous but Denise was sensational! She put me at ease and asked in depth and original questions that had me re-living the magic moments of the past. It was so much fun I'd do it again in a heartbeat!"
RICHARD BLADE
Radio Personality
Actor/Host/Writer
"I thought the TV Show's operation was top notch. Very much enjoyed Denise's sense of style too! She brings a sense of passion to her work that heightens her level of professionalism. Someone to watch I would say!!!"
CY CURNIN
The Fixx
"Because of Denise’s unique connection she has with her guests she really sets the show apart from the national programs out there. Los Angeles is not a big enough forum for "Focus In The Mix with Denise Ames". It’s time for the rest of the U.S. to pick up on what Denise is laying down. I sure wish I could see the weekly series here in New York!"
ERIC BLOOM
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT
"Denise Ames has the ability to be the new female version of Charlie Rose, most important in this day and age, and in our community!"
LINDA BLAIR Actress/Animal Advocate www.LindaBlairWorldHeart.org
"Denise Ames is not only gorgeous, but she causes me to cower at her intellectual depth cloaked in a cape of diaphanous modesty. She's a winner."
ED ASNER
Actor
"Simply put; Denise Ames, is an excellent host! I'm only surprised she's not working at a major network! It is very refreshing to work with someone that has the enthusiasm she displays. Her professionalism is second to none. She has a true passion for perfection and pays unyielding attention to details. She also shows excellent versatility and sensitivity while adapting quickly to very demanding situations. A true professional and a huge asset to any broadcasting situation! A real winner. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the world agrees."
JUAN CROUCIER
Dokken, RATT, The Juan Croucier Band
"Thank you so much for another fun interview. You always make me feel so comfortable and manage to get the silly side out of me. I love that. Please don't change a thing."
RUDY SARZO
Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, Dio, Blue Oyster Cult
"I had such a fun time on your show...Your interview bed side manner is incredible. You certainly have ways of making me spill my guts! Thanks for letting me know that A Flock of Seaguls knows I'm alive. Here's to movin on up...network next. (are you listening NBC, CBS, ABC) They better make their move fast before they lose out!!"
GRETCHEN BONADUCE
"Breaking Bonaduce"/CEO/Musician

We would love to hear it... (For example, I have a new rescue here,
sweet little guy that has decided it would be ever so fun to help me
send out comments by walking over the keyboard, and using my hair as a
cat toy.... now if only I could teach him how to enter captcha codes!!!!).

Thanks to all of our friends for showing us your support!!!!
"The latest show about Jan haagensen was simply shocking - I'll support her case. These "hunters" are a shame on humanity - hunting was a necessity in previous centuries but it's become simply entertainment for cowards. Great you're making Vancouver an international center for discussion!!!" - Andalusia
"The Jan Haagensen interview was excellent and I hope they do invalidate the whole hunter harassment statue because it is unconstitutional. I like this women and her love for animals. Seems quite a lot of people know Jan as their "hero" already, so it's great news. And thank you Anthony for a great radio program." - Tierra
"Really Good interview, Jan Haagensen is a Great Lady!" - Dominique
"That hunter who threatened Jan and her mother should have been charged with making a terrorist threat. Which is also a felony by the way." - Wolf
Anthony Marr will be speaking at the Animal Rights Conference (www.ARConference.org) on his own plan to challenge the Hunter Harassment laws of other states for being unconstitutional.
Last 4 of July you show my art to GB for the first taping of my art. It been a great year. You are the best, Denise. Have a happy 4 of July.
So far I done 7 artwork for the show. 8 if the other one get on TV. Thanks for giving me the chance. I also hired an editor for my resume of my art. It should help me find freelance work. Thomas
