I had no trouble going from radio to TV - I just thought of TV as radio with pictures.

The thing about radio is that it's got an intimate feel. What I like is that you don't have to give it your full attention - you can still do something else that the same time, whereas TV is all-enveloping: you have to sit there and pay attention to it, and give yourself over to it. You have to surrender to it, but you don't with radio.

I've always loved radio. Television scares me, because I'm older.

For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.

TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains.

There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything.

If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.

My father hated radio and could not wait for television to be invented so he could hate that too.

When television came out, there was concern it would kill radio.
