My goal was to be a network correspondent by the time I was 30.

How valuable NBC Magazine was in my career is questionable.

My most lucrative job in college was a stint as the regional Dodge Girl.

When for so long you can't get a job for reasons that seem specious, you you finally do have it, you are constantly afraid of losing it.

A lot of my close friends are nothing to do with show business. But the people I've had relationships with, invariably, I've worked with. I think that's probably because I grew up in a family where we all worked together, so it's something I feel comfortable with.

There's no question that we have great value on the sanctity of the family, and there are a lot of competing visions about exactly how we teach a set of values and we teach skills to our children, especially in the early years when they're really forming their personalities, their personas, really.

It's estimated that there may be two hundred and fifty million children in the world engaged in some form of exploitative child labour.

And when I retired, trust me, not only did Nolan Ryan, but the entire Ryan family had withdrawals from baseball. And it was tough.
