I wore dresses all the time. I like to wear dresses.

It was a big story and yesterday's soup. Who cares?

I think women can cope a lot better than men.

You go from Pampers to Depends!

I get all fired up about aging in America.

I wore dresses all the time. I like to wear dresses.

The critics - how come you never see any of them on TV?

Everything I've ever done in my life has been a fluke.

Remember Judy Garland? She retired 40 times.

Just do the math. In the next 50 to 75 years, people will be living to be 130 and 140. They'll be working until they're 100. It's incredible.

I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.

I got more mail than anybody on the history of The Today Show, but half of it was to get me off the air.

Never slap a man who chews tobacco.

Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics, warts and all; and, from belonging to a family that accepts you without question.

Nature's a tranquilizer as you get older.

I'm Southern Baptist, not a meteorologist.

As an only child, I never felt insecure and always had total love.

August depresses me a little. I don't even feel like eating. And when I don't eat, that's a sure sign of stagnation.

Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody ever seems to do anything about it.

I do a lot of schmoozing.

I go to McDonald's at least once a week. I always get a No. 2.

I had the privilege of having two sets of loving grandparents.

I have always said that the best training to be a TV newsman or anybody on television is to do a children's show because you are oblivious to the fact that there is a camera there.

I have the best job in the entire history of broadcasting.

I love commercials.

I run me like a conglomerate, because that's what I am.

I talk too much. I eat too much.

I want to get my own show because 'Today' will eventually get tired of me, or the audience will get tired of me.

I'd like to do 'Saturday Night Live.'

I'm not the dumbest guy that ever lived.

I've always had a reputation as a buffoon.

It's simply a tragedy that anyone today goes blind from glaucoma, when it's so unnecessary.

My grandmother was a typical farm-family mother. She would regularly prepare dinner for thirty people, and that meant something was always cooking in the kitchen. All of my grandmother's recipes went back to her grandmother.

My grandmother's house - she ran it just like her grandmother and her great-grandmother. They didn't have electricity. They had wood stoves that never got cold.

Nobody actually talks to anybody anymore. People in cubicles next to each other, they e-mail each other.

Now that I'm a grandfather myself, I realize that the best thing about having grandkids is that you get the kid for the best part of the ride - kind of like owning a car for only the first 10,000 miles. You can have your grandchildren for a couple of days and then turn them back over to the parents.

People over 100 are the fastest-growing group in America. People soon will be working 'til 100 - some because they have to - and living 'til 125 or even 135. What do I know, I'm just a weatherman, but I've made a hobby of studying this, and it's phenomenal.

Take a microphone out of my hands, and I'm just plain folks.

Thanksgiving just gets me all warm and tingly and all kinds of wonderful inside.

The TV weatherman has always been one of the best, most secure jobs. They change anchors, they change the set, producers come and go. But the weather person hangs on forever!

The best cookies of all in the world are the ones my daughter Sally makes. They come out all uniform with nice little air holes.

The only way to predict if there's a cloud on your horizon due to glaucoma is to get tested. No matter what the diagnosis, the forecast is for clear vision in the years ahead.

There are plenty of good-looking women out there. Go get them.

There is something endearing about the weatherman.

These days, you have to have a gimmick to do the weather. You have to have an act.

Tom Browkaw said it best. He said NBC could survive without him or the rest of the news division, but not Nancy Fields.

Viewers figure, 'Uncle Willard doesn't know any more about the weather than I do.' They're right.

When I can, I do 25 minutes of calisthenics every day.

When I was just starting out in the business, I used to love to watch Lorne Greene doing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I said right then, 'That's what I want to do someday,' and it's been one dream that has come true.
