“In L.A., everyone is competing for the next job, and in New York, it’s pretty much the same thing: competing for a better job.”

Why die on Mars when you can live in South Dakota? South Dakota, you can live here.

Frontline’ does 10 news shows a year, so one a week is quite an undertaking.

Life is one big question when your starin at the clock.

I travel so much on stories, so I don’t take vacation much, but one place I go back to again and again is my ranch.

I’ve been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.

There’s room for a diversity of ages on television.

If you’re a producer, you always spend too much money because you want that shot – and you’re willing to spend a bundle to get it.

My personal philosophy is I’m running a 100-yard dash, and I haven’t reached the end.

The prediction that glaciers will be gone from Glacier National Park has been moved up by 10 years to 2020, the same year it’s predicted the Arctic Sea will be ice-free in the summer.

I think I’m so old I’m in. We call it the ‘Tony Bennett Syndrome.’ For some reason, young people think I’m cool.

I love ‘Goodfellas’ because it’s a great movie – it’s funny and there is action at perfect points. I just think Martin Scorsese makes everyone look really cool.

Everyone’s got one but some are blacker and wider than others. It’s a feeling of being abandoned,cut adrift in space and time-sometimes following the loss of a loved one.

Everyone expects us to have a sense of urgency for life’s big things. Life measures us by how we engage ourselves in the little things.

Everyone I love I pay.

To break the mental chains that make us small because everyone tells us we cannot.

Educated women have fewer kids. And the kids they do have are better cared for and are more successful. As I like to say, it’s not one thing that we need to focus on. It’s everything all at once.

Everyone says how Calvin and Hobbes is about a real kid, to me there’s nothing real about it; it’s an adult using a kid’s body as a mouthpiece.

I could see them everywhere I spoke and still cannot comprehend the mentality that argues that I should have pretended not to see them, because it wasn’t my business.
