I never wanted to retire. I wanted to kind of shift my work pattern so I could stay fresh and invigorated, and use the experience that I had gained in 30 years, but in a slightly different direction.
From Bill Kurtis
The one important thing you do as boss is you set the standard. The minute you go in and say 'we'll let it go this time,' you set a new standard, which is lower. So you cannot do that.
I travel so much on stories, so I don't take vacation much, but one place I go back to again and again is my ranch.
All vacations can come down to a few little moments - what do your remember when you're alone, totally relaxed and taken out of yourself to appreciate this other world.
Movie stars and singers never fully pass away because their images are replayed on film and recordings, over and over.
I've been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.
'Frontline' does 10 news shows a year, so one a week is quite an undertaking.
With news, especially investigative pieces, you've got to be really smart and really lucky to be timely and to not get beaten by the big guys. You can't go head-to-head with the networks.
If you're a producer, you always spend too much money because you want that shot - and you're willing to spend a bundle to get it.
Choose something you like to do. I know it's a cliche, and you've heard it over and over. But the reason is, you're going to have to work long and hard to achieve any success. You better like it or life is going to be terrible.
