Sam Waterston

"One of the joys of doing television is the huge reach of it. When we did 'Much Ado About Nothing' for CBS, the producer told me that more people saw the play that evening than had seen it in it's entire history from the time that the play was first written and performed. Whatever you're talking about, the numbers of people you're reaching are staggering."

Person

Steve Carlin

"I volunteered to testify in front of the grand jury about the Quiz Show scandals. I said 'I want to do this because I want to completely clear my name.' And they said, 'You're fine, listen, you're a little tired. Go home and go to sleep, and then go back to work.' And that's what I did."

"The challenge of the television industry is to generate hits and continue to be successful. It's a very tough business with lot of ebbs and flows. It is a constant challenge to do good work and it's lightning in a bottle when it finally happens."

Rod Erickson

"All we said was that if you invented something which had sight, sound demonstration and color, had the attention of the audience in their own living room, you couldn't do better than taking some money out of their pocket, by stealing it like a pickpocket. Every thing was laid out for you. There was no way you could lose if you handled it correctly."

Bill Tush

"Ted [Turner] said, 'I want you to do a show. It can be variety, it can be comedy, I don't care. I'll pay you $100,000 a year to promise you'll never leave.' I said 'Of course, I'll do that. I won't leave.' I went back to the production director and said, 'What are we going to do now?' We had no clue what we were doing."
Person

George Watters

"Most people don't have the patience to be an editor. You have to sit down and get so involved, so interested in your work. But I don't think there is anything that I could have ever done that I enjoyed more thoroughly."
Person

Alan Jaggs

"I'm very glad that I was born when I was and that I came up from 1918 to today and the advancement of technology. I don't think it's ever happened before and I don't know whether it's going to go on. From horseless carriages to the present day cars, to airplanes to space travel, it's amazing what I've seen in my 83 years."
