I fantasized being a broadcaster.

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I`m going to learn, I must do it by listening.

If I do something caring for a friend, I have no doubt in my mind they would do it for me.

I was always telling everyone, I want to be a broadcaster. They`d say, What, are you crazy? What, you`re going to be Arthur Godfrey?

With 500 channels and the Internet available, you`d think a candidate could get the word out.

If you do something, expect consequences.

When I broke in, in 1957, it was wide open. Now you`re up against strong competition.

It`s joyful to give. But for people who want to take advantage of you, you`re kind of an easy mark.

I worked on the United Parcel Service truck, I sold home delivery of milk. But always, in the back of my mind, I wanted to get into radio.

People would pay money to work at CNN.

I`m the worst person to be stuck with in a traffic jam.

Good writers are in the business of leaving signposts saying, Tour my world, see and feel it through my eyes; I am your guide.

I have lifelong friends. My oldest friend, Herbie, has been a friend since I was 9. I`ve had bonds for over 50 years with people.

If they asked me, I did two shifts. I did sports, I did news, because I loved it.

Gleason became like a mentor of mine. I had Gleason helping me on television, Godfrey on radio.

The names are bigger, the show is worldwide, but I get a royal pass into life in the broadcasting business.

I have never understood the Iowa caucus.

Les Miserables is one of my favorite stories.

Communications is the number one major in America today. CNN had 25,000 applicants for five intern jobs this summer.

Getting your house in order and reducing the confusion gives you more control over your life. Personal organization some how releases or frees you to operate more effectively.

Those who have succeeded at anything and don`t mention luck are kidding themselves.

When I was 5 years old I would lie in bed, look at the radio, and I wanted to be on the radio. I don`t know why.

I like to put a stake in people, because I know people helped me.

I`m sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work. My message is that it`s OK to relax.

I`m having as much fun today as I did when I made $55 a week, because it is as much fun.

I`ve made a lot of mistakes. I`ve bonded with some people who use you, and some people that take advantage of you.

"I never think of access or good will. I just want a good interview. I want guests to be informative and entertaining. I`ve never been concerned about someone`s liking me tomorrow."
