struggle years upset
I had my years of struggling. Some of my shows failed miserably, and I was upset by it and it dented my confidence. But I never stopped. I kept going for it.
opportunity two years
I missed so many opportunities along the way to do what I wanted to do because I didn't have the confidence to tell myself, much less anybody else, 'Yes, this is the business I wanted to be a part of, and not feeling that I had the talent... and letting it go all the way through Notre Dame and then through two years of Navy service.
couple farewell years
I've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off, to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks, Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.
four another-woman
When are four women ever happy for another woman getting something they'd love to have? Tell me that.
party thinking lines
As a matter of fact I don't like politics. I really don't. I think it's so jaded now and everybody has to follow the party line.
retirement moving thinking
I'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from, but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now.
believe thinking battle
It's almost seems as though there's a battle going on between the public and all the fast-food establishments, and, believe me, I think it's very tasty food.
years work-out feelings
I try to stay in shape, I work out in the gym, take my vitamins every day, and I guess maybe I have some good genes, but lately Ive been feeling it. You know, after all these years it does catch up with you. But just for now.
fun sometimes painful
Im involved in the stock market, which is fun and, sometimes, very painful.
jobs night done
You know, I never knew if I had any talent when I started in this business. My first job was being a page at The Tonight Show. I saw Jack Paar come out one night and sit on the edge of his desk and talk about what hed done the night before. I thought, I can do that! I used to do that on a street corner in the Bronx with all my buddies.
dream jobs night
Anderson Cooper every night dreams about getting my job permanently really.
thinking ions flying
I think theres a little bit of sizzling here. Honestly, I can feel it. The ions are flying back and forth.
country new-orleans taste
You get a taste here in New Orleans that you don't get anywhere else in the country.
reading librarian school-library
What can I say? Librarians rule.
