Any atrocity that's committed against one person affects us all, and we are becoming more of one society, of a global society, so something that happens in the Middle East or something that happens in Africa, something that happens in Asia, affects all of us.

More often than not, we think of ourselves as black, white, Asian, or Hispanic pretty much in this country, but the real America is much more than that.

Many people who know me call me 'the hardest working man in the news business' because you're never, ever going to outwork me.

Every role affects you.

The homeland affects you directly: it affects your body; it affects the collective mind and the collective heart and the collective spirit.

We live in a globalising world. That means that all of us, consciously or not, depend on each other. Whatever we do or refrain from doing affects the lives of people who live in places we'll never visit.
