Robin Williams was the kind of generous person who would do things but not want to receive public credit for it.

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

If you don't fully take every moment and love every moment and every person that you're with, your life will be over before you realise.

I feel like the bigger risks that I take, the more I learn. I know that I learn more from my failures than successes.

I don't know what they see and say about you, but what I see and believe in you is a strong potential to manifest a life of greatness.

As a news person, you can't spend all your time responding to a Comedy Central star. It's not what we do.
