The TV season is a year-long thing now, and the networks are starting to look at it that way, thanks to cable, satellites, and competition.

I'm down to earth; people sense that and they appreciate it.

I've got to say that I don't see myself as some sort of political type like Alec Baldwin or Barbra Streisand. I don't want to come across like that. I'd be embarrassed if that was the way I came across.

I'm never afraid to die. I think that's the best thing that can happen to somebody is they get to move on and do something better.

I am never out there just jogging for the heck of it. I never do that. I start to run with a goal in mind, whether it's a certain time or certain distance or a specific heart-rate goal, and then I am done.

I had no problem going into retirement mode, ... I do what other retired guys do. I putter around the house and travel.

But I don't want to lose touch with things like eating in Bob's Big Boy.
