It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.

It was so much fun to have the freedom to wander America, with no assignments. For 25 or 30 years I never had an assignment. These were all stories I wanted to do myself.

I think I'd have done better if I had been a little more relaxed-if I had not pressed quite so hard, if I'd not lost quite so much sleep.

TV critics, who traditionally hate television and make their living writing about it, often didn't like what I did on the air.

I was on the high school track team, believe it or not, and played baseball, poorly but passionately.

I didn't know what narcissism was until I beheld my own naricssus.

I don't think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures.
