I don't know why this concept of what is hip became so important to me.

I don't know what makes someone hip. The goal is artist achievement and the best work we can do with no limitation.

The only thing I don't have is hips.

Being a hippy was the most natural thing in the world to me.

If I'm hip, we've got a problem in this country. I really shouldn't be held up as any model of hipness. If anything, I think I'm sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There's a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact.

I give 'em the hip, then I take it away.

Yes, I was a hippy - absolutely a hippy.

I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.

I hate the word 'hippy.'

I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.
