Television has tremendous power over our lives.

While television is a good servant, it's a bad master. It can swallow up huge quantities of our lives without much happiness bang for the buck.

When the machine of a human being is turned on, it seems to produce a protagonist, just as a television produces an image.

Today, television is the most powerful medium in the world. Tomorrow it will also be the most personal. There is no one future for television. It will be defined differently for everyone.

Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home.

Television is intensely personal.

We're in this transition period of figuring out how to deal with all the new technology that is out there, but television still proves to be the granddaddy of them all.

When you first get into television it is a big deal, then you realize you are no better than anyone else, we just have a platform to use, to help other people. I use that platform for the work I do in the military, the work I do with cancer because I was fortunate enough to get that platform.

Television is just one more facet of that considerable segment of our society that never had any standard but the soft buck.

The power of television - it's so present in our lives, we don't even know how powerful it is.
