I'd rather work with someone who's good at their job but doesn't like me, than someone who likes me but is a ninny.

Some days the competition would beat me and I'd go home thinking awful thoughts, want to hide under the bed, depressed. But of course, in the news business, when you're working a daily news broadcast, you get your victories and defeats every day.
