“I would rather be last in the ratings with a program I am proud of than first with a program I am ashamed of.”

“Don't do anything you're not proud of.”

“First be best, then be first.”

“We're not in the business of cheap.”

“Television is a business of failures.”

“The best thing a man can do for his children is love their mother.”

“Network television is a boom or bust business.”
