Quote

My father was a journalist.

My father was and is a great journalist. Thirty years ago, I was studying broadcasting in college, and the problem was I wasn't nearly as good as my father. I wasn't as quick or as smart as my old man, and I realized it would be a long time before I was ever going to be, and I decided to do something else.

My father used to get me to read the newspaper to him, as if I was a radio. I would stand there and read the 'Times.'

My dad made a huge impact on me in terms of right and wrong.

It was really weird dealing with the media. I had no idea how to handle it.

My dad always made sense. My dad was only wrong when I didn't understand him. Had I listened to him, my life would have been so much easier.

I was in a profession that received a lot of media.

My father was adamant in his disapproval of my interest in show business.

My parents, particularly my father, had been used by commentators, political journalists and political commentators, to attack me, and the collateral damage was the reputations of my father and my mother.

My father was a huge influence on me.
