The whole idea of television news or any kind of news is to inform people about things they need to know about.

I believe in a reasonable amount of "right to bear arms". But private citizens of the United States are not allowed to own nuclear weapons. I always wanted a nuclear weapon, if I could have gotten one. I'm every other kind of power, but I'm not a nuclear power.

I travel a lot. I'm on the move.

Even when I started in 1970, I knew that television was having a negative effect on our society.

I was gonna go broke if I didn't get things turned around real fast.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.

I'm a millionaire, I guess, but I'm just a normal person and I like everybody, taxi drivers, whoever you are, to call me by my first name and talk to me on a man-to-man basis. I think the garbage collector is as important as the goddamned president.
