My parents were not professionals. They were products of the Depression. ”

I love my work. It's been good to me. ”

Wait, Wait' has been great. The humor is there, and we get to do a lot of action. ”

I can honestly say I am the luckiest man around to be able to have worked at a job I love for so many years. It's truly been a joy for me. ”

My favorite time at NPR has been 'Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!' It was loads of fun and gave me a chance to meet and talk in person to the audiences that I felt I had known for so many years on the air. ”

I look out the window in the morning sometimes, and the sun is rising, and the people are going to work. I look at Washington as being that big, sleeping giant, just stretching and waking up, and going about its business. And to know that I'm working in the capital of the most powerful nation in the world - I feel good about that. ”

I never consider what I do as work. It has been fun. It's been rewarding and very fulfilling. ”
