I'm having as much fun today as I did when I made $55 a week, because it is as much fun

Communications is the number one major in America today. CNN had 25,000 applicants for five intern jobs this summer.

When I was 5 years old I would lie in bed, look at the radio, and I wanted to be on the radio. I don't know why.

It's joyful to give. But for people who want to take advantage of you, you're kind of an easy mark.

I have never understood the Iowa caucus.

...The British press... [claimed that Tony] Blair was simply Bush's poodle - a favorite phrase, bewilderingly popular, although it made no sense - and that he was ignoring the will of the British people. Considering the hacks had spent Blair's first six years in office condemning him for relying on focus groups and opinion polls for his policies - in other words, paying attention to nothing but the will of the people, or at least their whims - that seemed a little rich to me, but as I said, logical consistency has never figured highly in the British media's scale of values.

I was always telling everyone, I want to be a broadcaster. They'd say, What, are you crazy? What, you're going to be Arthur Godfrey?
