Quotes
I don't like to horse trade. I'm not a horse. After I decided ABC was the best place for me to go it would have been wrong to make a verbal agreement and take it back to CBS to see what they could do. [They] are the Rolls-Royce of TV news - traditional, utterly dependable and very predictable, while ABC is like a Ferrari - real fast, not always predictable, but a lot of fun. At this stage of my life [age 43] I'm in a Ferrari mood.
