Martial arts just normally would not draw me to the box office.

Martial arts just normally would not draw me to the box office.

Traffic is one of the most powerful films to come out in recent years. It blew me away.

Macauley Culkin was on the show a lot. Or Haley Joe Osment.

I can't think of a major story that we have broken that was incorrect. But we have had to correct some things that were false; we have had to retract things.

In a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole's case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours.

There are so many venues in which stars are exposed today, that we just know much more and the studios don't have the control over stars like they used to, in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.

I can't say I'm happy to be talking about John Ritter and his passing. In my 21 years of Entertainment Tonight, this really was one of the most shocking and sad things to have happened.

There are days like any normal human being where I wake up and I don't feel like going to work.

Julia Roberts is a favorite. Everybody loves her in the Hollywood community. The public adores her.

We can't laugh quite as much on camera, but we sure do on the set.

People do want to know the personal things. How far is too far to go with personal lives?

People magazine had been around for a short period of time, but nobody had thought about putting entertainment news on a nightly basis on television.

At these award shows, I love to see what people are going to wear.

As journalists, we keep pushing and pushing.

There have been many times when we have not run stories because we cannot get it verified.

The stars handle it very graciously. They let you know. They know how to play the game.

They had an opening. You know, it was one of those deals. I auditioned and got it in '93.

It's nice to help remember somebody who really made a very positive difference in the world.

There have been many cases in which stars have come to us first to break the news because they knew the pressure was on. They wanted to have it on the air so that they could give their honest evaluation of the situation.

There are people who are very highly paid to cover the truth and who will protect their clients.

Many have been with the show for years, and they have sources in the business, so we do know things, but until it is verified, we don't run with the story.

Survivor has been such a hit, and out of that have come so many interesting stories from people that we don't see on the big screen. We have helped make them incredible celebrities.

When you look at what we spend on entertainment, whether it's on CDs, music, DVDs, there is so much money invested in that, people want to know a little more about the stars they're paying to see or hear.

I am actually wearing slacks on the show more than I ever have - it is now acceptable, and I like mixing it up.

The pressure to be timely with news has increased every year.

I honestly, sincerely love what I do.

We will often talk to Liz Smith about couples and relationships because she always has an inside track, too.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

Well, I think that those of us in public life that are trying to do a good job, and that are faced with this popular new game that the media has of being critical of everything that anybody in public office does probably are thin-skinned.

It was also during my tenure of office that the Japanese Government agreed to the conclusion of a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and signed it, pursuing a policy in harmony with the avowed desire of the people.

Since I'm allergic to various things, the army wouldn't accept me during the war, and I got into the Office of War Information, which sent music to Europe.

Don't try to be somebody you're not because it doesn't work. If you try to be this perfect person or perfect persona of what you think that somebody should be when they're involved in public office, it's just not going to work. Just be yourself, stay true to your core values, and really just stay abreast of the issues.

From my very first day in the Mayor's office, I have worked closely with the Council members who share our vision of a city hall that really protects taxpayers and cares... yes... about the little things that make a big difference in people's lives.

That the apostolic office is temporary, is a plain historical fact.

No man should have a political office because he wants a job.

The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public office.

The right way to reign in healthcare costs is not by applying more government and more controls and making it more like the post office, it's by making it more like a consumer-driven market.

The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.

You get elected, often, if you're a woman, on the strength of the women's vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment.

I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.

Laboring men can perform for themselves the office of becoming their own employers.

If you win the Oscar, you get to go into just about anybody's office for a month.

Things on the whole are much faster in America; people don't 'stand for election', they 'run for office.'

For the past several years, the Meth Caucus has worked to engage the Office of National Drug Control Policy on this issue. We have tried to get their attention that meth requires a strong, comprehensive Federal policy.

In the discharge of the duties of this office, there is one rule of action more important than all others. It consists in never doing anything that someone else can do for you.

He who uses the office he owes to the voters wrongfully and against them is a thief.

I wonder if that's hurt me at the box office. Maybe audiences these days want to know exactly what to expect when they go into a movie, and my movies are hard to explain in just one way.

I will undoubtedly have to seek what is happily known as gainful employment, which I am glad to say does not describe holding public office.
