Anybody's position on an issue, anything they've said about an issue, and any way they've voted on an issue is fair game. You have every right to question that and go after it aggressively.

There is a - deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.

In the Rather/Bush incident, it was totally unfair. CBS was trying him and convicting him and trying to execute him on national television. They had made up their minds. CBS made the fatal error of trying to become the political opposition to George Bush. And, when they did that, they put themselves in an arena where they can get knocked on their fanny.

There's something about the American people: They have such an innate sense of fairness that the red light goes on and the bells go off the second you approach that line. Any kind of personal attack is verboten. You shouldn't do it; it's not worth it.

I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven't reached their potential. I think I'm pretty good at developing talent.

Almost everything I do is related to my ability to hire good people. I don't take much of the credit myself. I think I have a good eye.

I don't care what the polls say.
