There was no one around me who didn't work hard.

The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out, I had the rent for the month.

I had no experience with broadcasting basketball games, so I took a tape recorder and went to a playground where there was a summer league, and I stood up in the top of the stands and I called the game.

That's when I hit the ground. So in the instant that that round landed and blew me in the air, I had those separate and distinct thoughts. The guy who was standing right next to where I had been standing had a hole in his back I could put my fist into.

I will not go into a story unprepared. I will do my homework, and that's something I learned at an early age.

I knew that God put me on this earth to be on the radio.

I always felt more emotionally attached to Cambodia than I did to Vietnam.
