Dig deep and believe in yourself and have the self-confidence you need to forge ahead.
All three networks have always had a morning show but now cable of course is taking some of that audience away and a variety of other things, probably the Internet as well.
I realized that whatever your path, whatever your calling, the most damaging thing you can do is let other voices define you and drown out your own. You've got to block them out and find that place deep inside you, shaken but still intact, and hold on to it.
[I am enthusiastic about journalism because] it's a craft that can ... galvanize an often complacent citizenry, and make a difference.
Sexism is so five minutes ago. I think for the most part, people accept that women are as competent as men.
Nobody ever asks men about the work-life balance, and I just find that interesting, because clearly, I would imagine most men also want to be good fathers, and I'm sure they want to be good partners.
Be bold, be humble, be brave, be resilient, be productive, be good, good to yourselves and good to each other. Be careful; be caring.
Changing the world doesn't happen all at once. It isn't a big bang. It's an evolution, the sum of a billion tiny sparks. And some of those sparks will have to come from you.
Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less traveled is sometimes fraught with barricades bumps and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road where your character is truly tested And have the courage to accept that you’re not perfect nothing is and no one is — and that’s OK.
The morning is an extremely lucrative time slot for network television and of course, if it's making money, everybody wants a slice of that pie.
There's been a lot of things out there; I don't know where people are getting them, but I wanted to let you all know that so we didn't have to play games with this call, because there's really nothing to announce and nothing to report.
And that is, in an increasingly fragmented society - I'm getting a little bit esoteric here - people like routine, people like familiarity.
I think that good programming serves us all well. It gives people more choices. It makes us all try harder. And the competitive juices start flowing.
I think you get to know the people on the shows better than you do in any other format, because the audience sees us in so many different situations.
