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

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.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.
