I travel so much on stories, so I don't take vacation much, but one place I go back to again and again is my ranch.

Think of it: television producers joining with newspapers to tell stories. It's journalism of the future. Advertising will follow the crowd - the 'crowd' being viewers and readers, of course, which could bring revenue back into journalism.

If you're a producer, you always spend too much money because you want that shot - and you're willing to spend a bundle to get it.

There's something magical about putting yourself into life. You've got to stand up and take responsibility for your own life and you cannot abandon that.

With news, especially investigative pieces, you've got to be really smart and really lucky to be timely and to not get beaten by the big guys. You can't go head-to-head with the networks.

The one important thing you do as boss is you set the standard. The minute you go in and say 'we'll let it go this time,' you set a new standard, which is lower. So you cannot do that.
