With 500 channels and the Internet available, you'd think a candidate could get the word out.

I'm sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work. My message is that it's OK to relax.

I like getting to the meat of things. You can't get it in a five-minute interview. I like to hone a person. I like to make eye contact.

I want to be frozen on the hope that they'll find whatever I died of and bring me back.

Gleason became like a mentor of mine. I had Gleason helping me on television, Godfrey on radio.

The names are bigger, the show is worldwide, but I get a royal pass into life in the broadcasting business.

My father died when I was nine and a half. We were on relief for two years. They call it welfare now, but it was relief then... I never forgot the generosity of New York.

I don't wish anybody ill, I really don't. I've got a lot of faults, but I was never jealous or envious or... it's a waste of time.

I've taken my boys to the house I grew up in. Taken them to the site of Ebbets Field, where the Dodgers used to play. They go to all the Dodger games, and they play Little League ball. I have infused them with New York spirit.

I thought I would be a sports announcer. All I was was a curious kid who wanted to be on the radio.

I'm from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, if you say, 'I'm dangerous', you'd better be dangerous.

I have lifelong friends. My oldest friend, Herbie, has been a friend since I was 9. I've had bonds for over 50 years with people.

My biggest fear is death because I don't think I'm going anywhere. And since I don't think that, and I don't have a belief... I'm married to someone who has the belief, so she knows she's going somewhere.

The rich don't win elections. They support the money, but what percentage of America are rich? What is it, 2 percent? But they all have one vote.

People would pay money to work at CNN.

I'm the worst person to be stuck with in a traffic jam.

The guest to me was always paramount.

I never forgot being poor, and I never stopped thinking how fortunate I am.
