There is still nothing in life as constant and as changing at the same time as an afternoon at a ballpark.

Let's not become so worried about not offending anybody that we lose the ability to distinguish between respect and paranoia.

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.

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?

What you want in an interview is four things: You want someone who can explain what they do very well, who can have a sense of humor and hopefully is self - deprecating, who has a bit of a chip on their shoulder, and passion. If you have passion, a chip on the shoulder, a sense of humor, and you can explain what you do very well, it doesn't matter if you're a plumber or a singer or a politician. If you have those four things, you are interesting.

The first rule of my speaking is: listen!

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