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.

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?

But unlike the setup in most organizations, where there's an administrator on top and creative people or doers underneath, I'm basically a doer and I like to have administrative people underneath me.

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

Most of what we report from Congress they don't care about unless it affects them directly.

The current wisdom now is that if the three networks are covering the news the same way the difference is the anchor people. I think that won't be true in the future.

I don't think any industry was ever as closely scrutinized and written about and constantly in the public eye as television.

People essentially like local news better than network news.

Taking care of yourself isn’t about trying to become perfect. It’s about realizing and honouring, in every moment, thatyou already are.

Let me be mad, then, by all means! mad with the madness of Absinthe, the wildest, most luxurious madness in the world! Vive la folie! Vive l'amour! Vive l'animalisme! Vive le Diable!

I will continue to believe that Israel's security is paramount.

The reality of it is you have to be over the top if you want to be noticed.

All intelligent investing is value investing - acquiring more that you are paying for. You must value the business in order to value the stock.

Nobody does ladders like Jeff Hardy.

I found that golf saved me from going to the pub every day so instead I play golf with other unemployed actors. I'm a member of the Stage Golfing Society and I play golf with all sorts of people.

People go to casinos for the same reason they go on blind dates - hoping to hit the jackpot. But mostly, you just wind up broke or alone in a bar.

If I fail more than you do, I win.

Who remembers everything about somebody?
