I don't think the news department will have to lie down and play dead like it has in the past. By and large the network has been understanding, but then so have I.

I don't think people realize the extent to which TV networks are hurt when they carry public broadcasting. I think the estimate is that they lose a half-million dollars for a half day's programming.

You can only make so much money in life and only enjoy so many creature comforts. The important thing is to do something meaningful-to leave something behind.

I want everybody in the news business to think of ABC before they go any place else. If it costs us an extra few thousand dollars to do that, what does it mean?

In the past ABC has made half-hearted efforts or, worse, cosmetic efforts, to do something about news and I wasn't certain about what their real aim was - nor am I now.

People also don't care about the daily comings and goings of diplomats and yet we must report it.

The greatest tool of self-love is self-awareness. Once you truly know yourself, love is the only option.

In the flush of love's light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.

China leads the world in energy consumption, carbon emissions, and the release of major air and water pollutants, and the environmental impact is felt both regionally and globally.

I love my son more than any of you can imagine.

AI makes philosophy honest

The thing that makes our friendships so short and changeable is that the qualities and dispositions of the soul are very hard to know, and those of the understanding and wit very easy.

On an everyday level, I use alcohol and drugs in general mostly to be in a happier mood, with the people around me.

When I was a child, I went to stage school three times a week in the evenings - singing, ballet, tap, modern and acting, and I loved it.

Basically, what you really want to do is try to engage the viewer's body relation to his thinking and walking and looking, without being overly heavy-handed about it.

It is planned speeches that contain lies or dissimulations, not what you blurt out so spontaneously in one instant.
