"Academic debate more than anything else in my life enables me to do this work, because the effort of academic debate is to see things from all different perspectives, to be able to argue on any side of an issue, and to see all points of view. That's exactly what we do in daytime."

Person

Andy Ackerman
"We all know when something's not funny. But I think somehow I've been blessed with an ear. I know if something's not quite working. I feel like I have the ability to help the actor to do a little tweak. Maybe instead of ending it with this inflection or underlining this word, try stressing this word instead, and take beats. A lot of it is timing and that's rhythm. Knowing when to pause, when not to pause. That's just the beauty of language in-general."

"That's really what a host is supposed to do. You are there to make players relaxed enough that they can demonstrate their skills. They're the stars of the show. They're the ones that the viewers are interested in seeing. You're going to be there five days a week. Every week. Put the emphasis on the players."

Person

David Lee
"I've learned that in television you can make things better by working on them more. You shouldn't settle. You don't have to settle. You can write up to your audience. You can even shoot over their heads if you want."
Person

Earle Hagen
"...And I said, What do you think about this for the Andy Griffith show? He listened to it and he said, 'I'll tell you what, I'll shoot Andy and Ronnie walking along the lake with a couple of fishing poles over their shoulder.'  Great. That was the way it was done. I had never whistled before in my life. And never since."

Ruth Engelhardt

"I think my career achievement is carrying the torch for women in the business. I know I am respected a lot, and I think I helped pave the way for more women. I don't know, I don't think I have a greatest achievement. I think my greatest achievement is I did really good work."
