I respect the game that goes on of putting this against that, but I don't respect, nor do I enjoy, an awful lot of the actual programs that go on the air.

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?

I am deluded enough to think I can bring something to the table.

In Count Julian I simply proposed to create a text which would allow for diverse levels of reading.

To preserve our cheerfulness amid sicknesses and troubles, is a sign of a right and good spirit.

To be world champion brings fame. The fame brings good things and bad things too. I try to take the good with calmness.
