Just because your ratings are bigger doesn't mean you're better.
There's nothing wrong with being fired.
I believe in pulling together to make the country better right rather than pulling, tearing it apart for partisan reasons. I think the country comes first.
I think we've already voted at the U.N., in the Security Council, to get rid of nuclear weapons. Let's get rid of them. Let's get rid of ours and then Iran will stop, I believe. And so everybody else will, because if everybody doesn't have them, then we're safe, at least safe from a nuclear attack.
The mind is just another muscle.
Life is like a B-movie. You don't want to leave in the middle of it but you don't want to see it again.
I wanted to better inform the world.
I was gonna go broke if I didn't get things turned around real fast.
The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy.
If the perpetrators of the World Trade Center plane crashes had a nuclear weapon, there's no doubt in my mind but that they would've detonated it in New York.
I've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude, didn't give it everything he had, at least while he was doing it; wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.
I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy.
It's going to cost trillions of dollars to rework the energy sources all over the world. Were going to have to move away from fossil fuels.
I mean, there's no point in sittin' around and cryin' about spilt milk. Gotta move on.
At Time Warner, I had ten percent of the stock after the merger. But when we merged with AOL, I was diluted down to three percent.
I think Captain Cousteau might be the father of the environmental movement.
It was a struggle financing CNN, but I did it without ever asking the government for a nickel.
I lost 80 percent of my wealth and then gave away over half of the rest. So I'm a man of modest means now. But if you budget carefully and watch your expenditures, you can get by on a couple billion dollars.
I see what keeps people young: work!
If you had the most prestige and you were the network that everybody turned to in times of a crisis, that that was the most important position, in the news business, to hold.
I didn't get here for my acting... but I love show business.
I haven't been in a store to buy anything for five years.
I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can't really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work - making an investment in the future of humanity.
I travel a lot. I'm on the move.
I'd like to say that right now, in the last few years, the Democrats have been closer - have been more pro-environment. The coal industry is pretty well entrenched in the Republican Party and that's one of the things that we need to phase out.
Sports is like a war without the killing.
All my life people have said that I wasn't going to make it.
You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
I didn't care what, how much adversity life threw at me. I intended to get to the top.
You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.
I love CNN. I love the Cartoon Network. I mean, I thought these things up.
As I started getting rich, I started thinking, “what the hell am I going to do with all this money?”. You have to learn to give.
If the Russian nuclear arsenal was fired at the United States and other targets, and we fired back at them with thousands of nuclear weapons, it would be the end of life on earth.
The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees - things that no one country could do.
To be happy in this world, first you need a cell phone and then you need an airplane. Then you're truly wireless.
If I had any humility I would be perfect.
Even if we didn't have greenhouse gases, were going to have to move away from fossil fuels, as we're going to run out. They're finite, whereas solar and wind are infinite.
The worst thing you can do if you want to start a fight is to use derogatory terminology.
The Iranians don't intimidate! They're like the Vietnamese and the Iraqis. You want to start a war with them? They'll still be fighting in fifty years!
We have to do more than keep media giants from growing larger; they're already too big. We need a new set of rules that will break these huge companies to pieces.
I love this planet... I want to see the environment preserved and I want to see the human race preserved. And I'd like to see everybody living decently in a more equitable, kind-hearted, thoughtful, generous world.
The sad thing about destroying the environment is that we're going to take the rest of life with us. The bluebirds will be gone, and the elephants will be gone, and the tigers will be gone, and the pandas will be gone.
If you can get yourself where you're not afraid of dying, then you can move forward a lot faster.
My son is now an 'entrepreneur.' That's what you're called when you don't have a job.
The whole idea of television news or any kind of news is to inform people about things they need to know about.
I like Obama. I don't know who could do a better job. He's got an incredibly tough situation, and a good heart and mind. I'd like to see him rally support a little better.
I'm a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn't think through adequately. I mean, I don't type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.
The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to know that we know that.
I know what I'm having 'em put on my tombstone: 'I have nothing more to say'.
