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.

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.

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.

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.

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 don't have the fire in the belly right now. It's one of those been there, done that deals.

And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.

Others like City Hall the old way, when they could make deals behind closed doors with your tax money.

Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.

To the person that deals in visualizations, I suppose there is something rather exciting about a whole set of people - they all going symmetrically, up or down, in a military sort of precision.

I think if you look at the themes that are presented in the film, some are inherently social, and I think that any film which deals with the family is dealing with the smallest social unit in our society - and in a sense it is a question of scope.

So many directors are solely focused on their own success in Hollywood and multimillion dollar budgets and deals.
