We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.

It's a mistake to think that we have to be lovely to be loved by human beings or by God

I went into television because I hated it so, and I thought there's some way of using this fabulous instrument to nurture those who would watch and listen.

I'm proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you have ever done

We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.

You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.

I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.
