My personal opinion is that guns kill people.

The questions don't do the damage. Only the answers do.

I was a typical farm boy. I liked the farm. I enjoyed the things that you do on a farm, go down to the drainage ditch and fish, and look at the crawfish and pick a little cotton.

Call me a braggart, call me arrogant. People at ABC (and elsewhere) have called me worse. But when you need the job done on deadline, you'll call me.

I'd rather work with someone who's good at their job but doesn't like me, than someone who likes me but is a ninny.

Let's face it: Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there - they oppose him not for his polices and political view but for who he is, an African American!

I saw a large, red dried swath that I immediately identified clearly as blood. I covered the war in Vietnam. I saw a lot of it [blood] there.

And really, the basis, I think, of achieving some success in what I want to do today comes from my mother's push to get me to read and to make something of myself from the standpoint of an education.

There was a little bit of ham in me. And there's a lot of people say there's a lot of ham in me.

As I went to college, I went into radio and television. Now I suppose most people think that's one step ahead of basket weaving as a major in college, but it was part of the journalism department.

So when I cover the president, I try to remember two things: First, if you don't ask, you don't find out; and second, the questions don't do the damage. Only the answers do.

Clear clutter. Make space for you.

Be kind to the hawk and harm the sparrow.

A second date always felt like an announcement at his age. And he never felt ready for the announcement.

The core political values of our free society are so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness that only a few malcontents, lunatics generally, ever dare to threaten them.

I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

Every act of violence is also a message that needs to be understood. (23-24)

Just because we believe the gospel is a life-and-death matter doesn't mean we have to act as if we're dead.

I like playing weird, kind of shady people.

And it's always possible that you will not get a nice review. So - and that's enraging of course, to get a bad review, you can't talk back, and it's sort of shaming in a way.

I am a great believer that you need passion and energy to create a truly successful business.
