Randolph Mantooth
"Everybody says, 'Aren't you tired of being recognized for doing "Emergency!"?' No. I'm remembered for something that changed emergency medicine forever. That actually saved lives. How lucky can any one person be?"
Person

Ray Dolby
"Everybody laughed off what we were trying to do in creating a video recorder. You can't imagine the amount of snickering that went on in that late 1952 period when we were trying to build our first video tape recorder. Let's say we'd go into the lunch room or the coffee room to get a cup of coffee, and the other engineers would say, 'he's still working on that stuff? It's never gonna work.'"
Person

John A. Martinelli

"I got four Emmys. And I was very pleased I got a lot of nominations which I lost. I had a decade where out of the ten years, I got nine nominations. I'm proud of that. I'm not gonna be blasé and say it doesn't mean anything, it means a lot, as an editor."

Person

Joe Sedelmaier
"A sweet little lady asking 'Where's the beef?', fighting for the rights of elderly people. It was amazing! People would say "Are you looking for your next Clara Peller?" I never looked for the first Clara Peller. She was just there!"
Person

Perry Wolff

"My advice to aspiring television news producers? Make sure you're not telling any lies, and that your sources are correct. Don't let vanity get in the way of your reporting. And try to find another career. How about fashion?"

Person

Connie Britton

"'Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose' means many things to me. Everybody who was involved with Friday Night Lights holds it very dear because it was thematically the heartbeat of our show. More importantly than that, it really did impact some of the members of our audience."

Person

David Pollock

"Our writing process was probably the exact same process that we stayed with and that all comedy writers stay with. It's the very thing you see in the movies, two guys in a small room, two desks usually jammed together, a very unglamorous, spartan kind of a setting and just talking over each other and trying this, trying that, going backwards and forwards. Very disorganized, yet in its own way methodical and organized."

Person

Dick Enberg

"Each sports broadcast is a piece of theater. Football is a four act play. You set the scene in the first act, you develop the characters in the play, and the plot unfolds. You see how the characters fit within the drama. The sportscaster's job is to bring it all together to present a complete performance to the viewers."

Person

Louis Dorfsman

"CBS represented a forward-looking, progressive, and innovative point of view. The reason it did is William S. Paley and Frank Stanton. Paley said, 'We are the Tiffany network,' and he really thought so. And we tried to make it that."

Person

Thomas T. Goldsmith, Jr.

"What's down the road? Digital technology, computers, students going to school, going to graduate school via computers and television. They are going to invent things that we don't even have an idea what it might be."

Person

Norman Stiles

"I don't think there will ever be a children's program that will have the continued impact over time that Sesame Street has had. Maybe in another universe, but I don't think on this planet."

Person

Vin Di Bona
"A woman came up to me and said, 'I started watching 'America's Funniest Home Videos' when I was a kid and now I'm watching it with my kid. My childhood comes alive through my child when your show is on the air.' Our niche is family programming and I'm very proud of that."
Person

Reuben Cannon

"My advice is no matter what part of the business you're in, learn that aspect of the business but also create something for yourself."

Person

Howard Anderson, Jr.
"We had probably 18 weekly TV shows that we did the titles and optical work on, in addition to several features. It gets to be sort of a factory kind of an operation once the pilot is done and the approvals have been made on all the styles. But then you turn her over and let her run."
Person

Herb Jellinek

"ABC was our family. When that family changed it became Capital Cities, it wasn't the same anymore. We'd started at nothing and we all built this company up and we had great affection for the company, and we felt strange it being owned by somebody else now. I'm sure Leonard Goldenson felt the same way."
