You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.

We're not programming to conservatives. We're just not eliminating their point of view.

CNN International, Al-Jazeera and BBC are the same in how they report mostly that America is wrong and bad.

You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.

I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.

Audiences are shifting. Platforms are shifting. Ages are shifting. It's better to be in charge of change than to have to react to change.

CNN and MSNBC, our primary competitors, are trying to figure out how to beat us. There are some good, smart people at those networks, and even occasionally a blind pig finds an acorn.

Everybody fears the unknown. But I have a strong feeling there's something bigger than us. I don't think all this exists because some rocks happened to collide. I'm at peace. When it comes, I'll be fine, calm. I'll miss life, though. Especially my family.

Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don't mind if people want to argue with that, or think that's crazy.

I can't stand cruel people. And if I see people doing something mean to somebody else just to make themselves feel important, it really gets me mad.

I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was.

I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray.

I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven't reached their potential. I think I'm pretty good at developing talent.

I only understand friendship or scorched earth.

I quit politics because I hated it.

I think almost everything in life is life-experience, personality-driven.

If somebody wants to book Alec Baldwin on one of our shows, and he wants to come on and talk to our people and say what he wants, I don't care. We would question him on his choice of words.

My doctor told me that I'm old, fat, and ugly, but none of those things is going to kill me immediately.

Obama's the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn't public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time.

Television and I grew up together.

Tell me who you want to see on the Left, and I'll hire them. If you give me a big name that's out there, that's floating around and wants work, I'd be happy to hire them.

There is a - deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.

Be satisfied with your business, and learn to love what you were bred to.

A negative mind will never give you a positive life.

It's indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I'm tempted to say that it has to do with the fuzziness it introduces.

I do not want to be bored listening to music that is muffled and known only to the poet himself.

They say that shadows of deceased ghosts Do haunt the houses and the graves about, Of such whose life's lamp went untimely out, Delighting still in their forsaken hosts.

Scientists who play by someone else's rules don't have much chance of making discoveries.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

The interests of the United States are better served by demanding reform and seeing that reform takes place than by removing our influence from the UN.

The ability to make hard truths palatable is one that every long lived co leader has mastered.

Imagine that: If you could change one of the genes in an experiment, an aging gene, maybe you could slow down aging and extend lifespan.

I've always looked old for my age.

When I was 27, I didn't have a clue what was going on! At that age, to have that much power and to have that much ambition is something.

Every puppy should have a boy.

Death solves all problems no man no problem.

I'm still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did.

Remember that the minimum wage law provides no jobs; it only outlaws them; and outlawed jobs are the inevitable result.

Writers, not psychiatrists, are the true interpreters of the human mind and heart, and we have been at it for a very long time.

There was a widespread indignation in the American media. They were saying, 'How can you make a movie during an election that's about politics? What are you doing? Are you trying to influence people's lives?' To which my response was, 'Well, I hope so.'

I was always brought up that if you can make a difference, you should, and if you don't it's a waste. So we'll see if I can make a difference.

I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.

Olay BB Cream is a lifesaver, and I wear it every day while I train and compete. Twenty-four-hour hydration and sheer color helps me look flawless even when faced with that unforgiving Jumbotron!

When you feel so strongly about something and other people feel equally strongly you have to feel stronger about it in order to succeed.

I have a little bit of a pet peeve about how the middle class is depicted in movies. I feel like they tend to be either depicted in a very sentimental way, where everybody has a heart of gold except for the villains you're supposed to hiss at, or there's a sort of indie-style version... When it's done well, it's brilliant, it's 'Blue Velvet.'

They had taken me to an exhibit called 'Psychiatry: Industry of Death' on Hollywood Boulevard, where a Scientologist told me psychiatrists set up the Holocaust. I feared I was being brain-washed. And then I lost it - big time.
