Homogeneity is much to be admired – in milk, for instance – but not for parties.

A job is not a career. I think I started out with a job. It turned into a career and changed my life.
BARBARA WALTERS

Jobs Thinking Work
A conversation isn’t a competition.
BARBARA WALTERS

Competition Conversation
Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.

Complaining Fighting Jobs
I can get a better grasp of what is going on in the world from one good Washington dinner party than from all the background information NBC piles on my desk.

This is what I tell, especially young women, fight the big fights. Don’t fight the little fight… Be the first one in, be the last one out. Do your homework, choose your battles. Don’t whine, and don’t be the one who complains about everything. Fight the big fight.

All of the religions – with the exception of Tibetan Buddhism, which doesn’t believe in a heaven – teach that heaven is a better place. At the end of the program, I say that heaven is a place where you are happy. All of the religions have that in common.

If it’s a woman, it’s caustic; if it’s a man, it’s authoritative.

Because there are so many shows on and because I’ve been so hands-on – I’ve had a piece on almost every single week – I don’t know how to cut back on that. You really can’t.

A man cannot be comfortable [or cannot be made comfortable] without his own approval.

Large cocktail parties are an infamous technique for ridding yourself of social obligations to people you usually don’t know well or like much, which is such an unpromising beginning that I’ve rarely known one that recovered and turned into a great party.
