Tyler Henry

I do a lot of sleeping when I'm not working.

I grew up in a very small conservative town and as a result there were a lot of people who didn't like what I did. So I would say for anyone who is dealing with bullying, regardless if it's not to do with being a medium, I know what it's like to be alienated and feel different.

It's really important to differentiate between being sceptical and cynical.

As a medium reading people in the public eye it really is my job to read information from my clients that isn't out there publicly and really tap into those private details.

A lot of people I read start off as skeptics or nonbelievers. There comes a point in every reading when you see their worldview being changed.

I think that we can learn a lot from the first-hand experiences of others and I think that if you look at these readings - celebrities or not - there's information that comes through that is so specific and personal there's no way you could research that.

I know the death of my grandmother acted as a catalyst to somehow turn something on because before 10 I didn't really have many intuitive experiences.

When I'm being driven to the reading, my mom doesn't know who the client is. My assistant, Charlie, does not know who the client is. We follow a lead vehicle... so we don't know where we're going.

For me, it's really important when I go into a reading to not have any bias and so that's a big reason why I never know who I'm meeting or where I'm going.

I always say I am a man of trust: I have a deep sense of trust in the universe and something greater.

In my opinion I think there's a difference between skepticism and cynicism; I tend to avoid cynicism because I feel it can err sometimes on the side of ignorance, by just disregarding something without actually seeing it or experiencing it first-hand.

If you are going to go to a medium, go to a medium as a skeptic... and this is a medium telling you this! Because if someone is a medium and they are legit, they're not going to be shocked by skepticism, they're not going to be taken aback or intimidated by skepticism.

I love going hiking.

I would say that if you can stick to who you are as a person, that's all that matters.

I'm a big fan of naps.

My goal with any reading is always to give the client what they are meant to hear.

I believe the readings I do are a validation that there is more to this world than what we can see.

I had graduated high school early, and my thought was to become a hospice nurse.

Yes. I get scared sometimes if I don't know when a physical sensation is going to go away. For example, if I get a chest pain it's grandpa trying to say 'heart attack' and I verbalize 'grandpa had a heart attack' and the pain goes away. But there's sometimes that I'll verbalize and the pain is till there, and then it doesn't go away.

Being a medium, a lot of religious people are like, 'ok. that's talking to the dead.' The bible talks about it in a very different context so I think there's more stigma to being a medium.

I had people having prayer circles for me at the age of 10.

Heart issues, they happen to men, it's not uncommon.

Some of us are born with a heightened sense of intuition and others less so, but being open to seeing the signs and synchronicity I think is important.

I think you don't need to add anything into your life to be more intuitive, it's more a matter of taking away things that are distracting us from being intuitive.

I think there are so many misconceptions about mediums.

I would love to be able to tour and get to be able to read people who might not be able to afford to go to L.A. and really just spread my ability and share it as much as I possibly can.

Somehow, I've become Hollywood's go-to medium.

A lot of the people that I read have never had a medium experience before - it's comforting.

I don't claim to have all the answers about how the afterlife works.

What I've found after doing over 200 celebrity readings on 'Hollywood Medium' is that everyone is looking for the same thing, it doesn't matter how rich you are, how poor you are, how famous or not famous, every human being experiences loss and I'm glad the show starts a conversation about that.

When I meet people, I relay things I see and feel. And in a reading when I interact with a person, I'll pick up on sensations and feelings and piece them together to make a coherent thought. My goal is to always get specific information and relay details that people will connect to.

I don't think we're all going to be mediums but I do think we all have a sixth sense in that we have an intuition. I think our intuition is something that we all have the ability to tap into and we often regret when we don't follow it.

Situations we might write off as a coincidence could actually be a late loved one trying to send us a sign.

People stop me and ask me about their loved ones who have passed away. I have to explain to them that what I do is a lot like therapy and it really requires the right time and the right place.

For me in readings, I really have to be diplomatic and use discernment in what comes through because there is a lot that comes through and it oftentimes is very personal.

I don't know if anyone can do a reading for other people, but I do think that we all have an intuition and that if we can follow it we can hone it and it can be used to do a lot of good.

I see Khloe Kardashian pretty regularly, we cross paths a lot.

Tilda Swinton would be a great person to a reading on because I think she is such an interesting and fascinating person. To see a personal side to her would be really intriguing.

I think sometimes people expect people to burst into tears. But, I think sometimes emotion, as I've seen, shock, can have a lot of different manifestations. Sometimes it's tears and sometimes it's just complete stoicism.

People will pass and I'll connect with them and they actually won't be actively involved in their family's lives.

The best career advice I've ever received I would say is honestly just to keep going, follow your passion. It does sound cliche, but honestly it's true.

I feel like I always touch my hair all the time so I'm always correcting it.

It's really surreal watching myself on television because I pick up on all my mannerisms. You really get to see yourself in a completely different light when you actually watch yourself.

My favorite part of my job is really getting to connect people to their loved ones and, really, to allow them to have a release and be able to come into a session not knowing what they're wanting or expecting, and be able to leave it feeling a sense of healing and a sense of closure.

Ultimately I look at the long-term goal of communicating messages. Although I've seen some traumatic things, delivering messages of comfort and closure allow for a sense of peace.

I would say the nature of what I do can be very overwhelming and some things revolve around things that are not positive. But I cannot allow fear to dictate my readings.

If I allowed fear to dictate my life, I would not be productive.

A good way to tell if a psychic is authentic is, if they are going to verbalise these things, it should be with the intention of helping the person.

I would say that my ability doesn't' have an off switch but instead is more of a volume dial. When going about everyday life I try and switch that noise to becoming background noise, but have taught myself when to turn the volume up, such as in readings.

My closest friends do come to me all the time about their personal life for advice but we have healthy boundaries!
