Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been 'You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.' Maybe I'm going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.

Vermont is a small state which makes an enormous difference.

You've made this day a very special day, by just you're being you.

Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we aren't perfect.

It's our insides that make us who we are, that allow us to dream and wonder and feel for others. That's what's essential. That's what will always make the biggest difference in our world.

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
