Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.

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

I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.

I can't say that I've changed anybody's life, ever, and that's the real work of the world, if you want a better society.

It's that enthusiasm, that passion for what you're doing, that is most important.

What I learned on the road. Above all else - to love my native land.

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