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

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.

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.

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.

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.

There aren’t that many policy changes you can do, so I’d say you ride the wave and hope that maybe some of the external events help you.

I grew up listening to the quartets and I loved that so much that I wanted to see if I could make music and make it happen. It was just a series of events … me going to concerts and saying “I think I can do that”.

The first need of being is endurance; to endure with gladness if we can, with fortitude in any event.

Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives… but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can ‘color’ (change) how we see our present and future.

It’s in the nature of television to restrain the spontaneity of a live event. Things become more and more prepackaged.

We use the web to help people organize in the flesh, and then we take the images of those events and put them back on the web to make them add up to more than the sum of their parts.

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That’s why events are always reinterpreted when values change.

Dread not events unknown, and be not downhearted, for the fountain of the water of life is involved in obscurity.
