You know, I've always wanted to be a young Charles Kuralt. I started in this business with just a Winnebago and a dream.

I have great respect for people who are in the front lines and the trenches of trying to enact social change. I am far lazier than that.

I'm a little bit too obsessed with the news. I find the news easier to follow than narrative entertainment programs.

If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.

I don't think marijuana should be illegal.

Do you know what writing a book is? It's sitting alone in a room for weeks without making contact with another human. I felt like Howard Hughes.

The goals for me have changed somewhat. There's a bit of seduction to the idea of being on network, but it got to the point where that wasn't important. What's important is doing something worthwhile. Which is why I've always avoided being on a sitcom. Yeah, it's high-profile and it's on a network, but you know what? You could be on Suddenly Stewart.
