I did everything when I started. In Miami I did news, I did weather, I did sports, I did disk-jockeying. And I did a sports talk show every week - every Saturday night.

You cannot talk to people successfully if they think you are not interested in what they have to say or you have no respect for them.

I'm sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work. My message is that it's OK to relax

When I broke in, in 1957, it was wide open. Now you're up against strong competition.

...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.

If I do something caring for a friend, I have no doubt in my mind they would do it for me.

I thought: If I was lucky enough to live, I'd change, myself-I realized I could have a new life-new energy, new endurance, and feel better about myself.
