“There’s something magical about putting yourself into life. You’ve got to stand up and take responsibility for your own life and you cannot abandon that.”

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.

On my football field, I know what bliss is. My team cuddles more than the missus. We won’t inject drugs, just oodles of hugs. I warm up my team with some kisses.

I believe that young people are looking for answers to the big questions just like everyone else, and that they respect intelligent comment to help guide them through tough times.

All vacations can come down to a few little moments – what do your remember when you’re alone, totally relaxed and taken out of yourself to appreciate this other world.

I have an affinity for Africa, especially East Africa, and Kansas looks very much like that.

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.

I never wanted to retire. I wanted to kind of shift my work pattern so I could stay fresh and invigorated, and use the experience that I had gained in 30 years, but in a slightly different direction.

The one important thing you do as boss is you set the standard. The minute you go in and say ‘we’ll let it go this time,’ you set a new standard, which is lower. So you cannot do that.

Things don’t change in a marriage until the spouse who is taking responsibility for a problem that is not hers decides to say or do something about it.

You know, it’s the best job I’ve ever had, on its worst day it’s better than anything else, but it’s a huge amount of responsibility

And there has to be a far stronger mechanism for being able to track down people, have overstayed their visas, to have a responsibility for who they’re coming to visit or stay with.

Everybody has a responsibility for what they put out into the world.

Every government has as much of a duty to avoid war as a ship’s captain has to avoid a shipwreck.

There is only one duty; that is to be happy.

One of my most important responsibilities as commissioner of the NBA is to protect the integrity of professional basketball and preserve public confidence in the league and our sport.

A tremendous number of people come to the country legally, but overstay their visas.
