One of the towering people in this industry said, why don't you go and make a five-year contract with somebody, make yourself several million dollars and put it away, then go and do whatever you want, work for public TV if you want.

I never thought I would become a television host, but I never thought anybody would pay me to just talk.

I don't doll myself up for TV because I want people to accept me for who I am.

People are aware of what I stand for through television. Nobody gets rich on TV but you build brand. That's what I'm attempting to do.

I don't care if I ever work in TV again.

I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

The only reason I got into broadcasting was, I needed money to pay for my junior and senior years at college, and they hired me, those fools!

I think in my job, it's quite difficult to find work on television... you don't necessarily want to get a profile for something that you don't fully believe in.

TV is a fickle business. I'm only good for the length of my contract.

I wasn't really interested in doing television. I don't have that much ambition. My agent, Eileen Feldman, has all the ambition for me.
