Quotes:

"To the extent that I have a theory of life, it's that you try to prove to your parents that you're worth a damn."
After being rejected by Yale Law School: "I was arrogant enough to think that if I didn't get into the law school I wanted, I wouldn't go to any...I hadn't a clue as to what I was going to do, except I did think it would be intriguing to go into television news."
About ABC News: "You can't work for an organization for as long as I have and not come to have a deep and abiding love for the place...I've always said the day they fire me, I'm going to write a letter and say it's been a great, great run. And so far, they haven't done it."
