Always be consistent.

I like the storytelling and reading the letters, the long-distance dedications. Anytime in radio that you can reach somebody on an emotional level, you're really connecting.

We gave the show away and in return, we received a certain number of minutes per hour for the three-hour show that we could sell to Madison Avenue. One of the first sponsors was MGM Records.

For the most part, that message hasn't changed a lot over the years - love is still love, and heartbreak is still heartbreak.

I'd like to feel that an advertiser gets something extra when they advertise with us - a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories.

For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.

I was drafted and went to Korea where I had an opportunity to create a production team that did dramatic and comedy shows. I had also done a little disc jockeying.

Basically, radio hasn't changed over the years. Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.

It's been amazing, the number of commercials that I've done, starting back in 1968. It must be 8,000.

The first syndicating I tried was when two partners and I created a production company in 1952. We wanted to syndicate famous Bible stories and sell them for $25 a show.

Songs used to be short, then they became longer, and now they're getting shorter. But otherwise, music is about a beat and a message. If the beat gets to the audience, and the message touches them, you've got a hit.

I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.

Always be consistent.

I did as much research as I could and I took ownership of this illness, because if you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live?

My whole life has been a very communal experience; growing up in a house full of happy hippies, having dinner parties three days a week, and going to Christiania, I was constantly surrounded by people celebrating community. If you look at the films I've done, they all share that theme.

The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

Obama achieved something in his first year with health care that successive presidents have been unable to achieve.

One of the stated values at IronPort was 'work/life balance,' but I wasn't living it. I was rarely home. And when I was home, well, let's just say I wasn't particularly helpful or cheery.

I've had an exciting time; I married for love and got a little money along with it.

Without Romneycare, I don't think we would have Obamacare.

I think with the smaller-scale projects, the burden for success falls more squarely on the shoulders of the actors and the director and the script.

Rock and roll is here to stay.

Well I've never used that phrase before, but yes she is bootylicious.

If you make a huge pot of soup, you can freeze part of it and eat off it for days. I love making green bean soup, and I'll throw in some cashews, almonds or tofu, and voila, I've got a soup that's loaded with protein and vegetables.

The very act of questioning whether you exist proves you do, because you must be there for the doubt to be entertained in the first place.

I am interested in writing how women really feel, how they really think, and how they respond to men. I don't want men reading my books because they might find out too much.

Illustrating is more about communicating specific ideas to a reader. Painting is more like pure science, more about the act of painting.

Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you. I Loved You so " ˜twas heaven here with you.

It's easy to make a film, but it's hard to make a career of being a filmmaker.

There is a thin line between peace of the brave and peace of the hostage... between compromise - even calculated risk - and irresponsibility and capitulation.

The only exercise I excel at is jumping to conclusions.

Everybody wants to share life and be in love and be loved.

The want to improve myself and win tournaments and see how far I go is crucial.

I don't consider myself a great actress. I'm just trying to stay alive, actually. I think I'm good, and I've learned a lot, certainly, mostly in the theater. I've been sloughed off movies for years. But what can you do? That's life.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

We should honor Mother Earth with gratitude; otherwise our spirituality may become hypocritical.

I'm an individual, and I have opinions.
