No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it.

In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

If you spend a lot of time thinking about your problems, they'll grow bigger and stronger. Is that what you want? Of course not!Instead, focus on your goals. Start your day with them at the front of your mind, and use notes to recall them strategically throughout your day.

If you run around with 9 losers pretty soon you'll be the 10th loser.

You cannot be wimpy out there on the dream-seeking trail. Dare to break through barriers, to find your own path.

Do what is easy and your life will be hard. Do what is hard and your life will become easy.

When a show fails to destroy the competition-and it can fail while attracting 20 million viewers-it is itself destroyed.
