I have set a standard, and I'm going to stick to the standard. I may have been able to grow faster and maybe my business could have been bigger, but because I really feel very serious about my subject, I really want to be hands-on.

I'm a maniacal perfectionist. And if I weren't, I wouldn't have this company... I have proven that being a perfectionist can be profitable and admirable when creating content across the board: in television, books, newspapers, radio, videos.

Plants respond far better to moderate but consistent care than they do to occasional bouts of heroic intervention.

I must reclaim my good life and I must return to my good works.

My new motto is: When you're through changing, you're through.

I haven't been to Tasmania. I haven't been to the South Pole, and I haven't been to the North Pole. I want to see the polar bear migration before there are no polar bears. I want to see Glacier National Park before the glacier melts.

I was married for 30 years. Isn't that enough? I've had my share of dirty underwear on the floor.
