If the doors aren't open, just kick them in and keep walking.

In a world where your interactions with humans are solely about rating one to five, two things happen: One is all humanity is lost in the name of fake pleasantries and also there's no nuance to that system. There's no room for complex interactions that are rich and meaningful.

You can't just sit around in leopard-print slippers and drink champagne all day and think everything's gonna work out somehow.

Sometimes you've got to just commit to the idea and press forward and trust that you made the right decision.

The news is a public service. It's a way to inform people of what's going on in their world. And when you make it about ratings and make it about ad dollars, there's no incentive to inform people. The incentive is to be sensationalistic and get as many people to watch as you can without any regard for truth or objectivity.

One of the worst things you could do in that world is curse at someone.

I think if you're too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can't really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites.
