Zitat des Tages von Charlie Rose:
I don't talk about my politics. I am registered as an independent.
I'm flattered by the fact that most people tell me they don't know what my politics are.
I think Vladimir Putin, because of all of his experiences, has a real fear about being - about NATO being on his borders. He's always had that.
I would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.
I think the long interview has an important life.
The highest admiration I have for my colleagues is not for someone in a studio in New York but for somebody on the ground in places that they've gone to fight to tell the story.
My parents had a great work ethic.
I knew that if I could put a table in a room with not much light and a couple of chairs, I could have a real conversation. And I know that people... like to eavesdrop on a conversation.
Richard Serra, the great sculptor, personifies an artist for me.
I want to challenge people to find out who they are.
The great regret of my life is that I didn't have children.
I could spend several hours on YouTube every night. It's all there. I just don't have enough time.
I'm not an advocacy journalist - that's not what I do. My role in journalism is to be able to engage the most interesting people with the best ideas.
The younger generation watches what's interesting, not whether it's presented by someone who is as old as I am or someone who is as old as a 21-year-old. It's the material. If I did a series of conversations on things most interesting to Millennials, they would respond to it, and I do.
The question is just as important as the answer.
The alarm rings 4:45, again at 5, but I wake up 4:30 naturally. Shower, shave, orange juice, perk my own coffee, hear the news, and the CBS car arrives 5:30.
I was an only child of a father who loved me deeply, but we didn't play catch, even though I was an athlete. We didn't go fishing or hunting or any of the things I wanted to do. Why not? He just didn't do that.
When I think about athletes, probably my favorite guest of all time among baseball players was Ted Williams.
