Zitat des Tages von Willard Scott:
My grandmother was a typical farm-family mother. She would regularly prepare dinner for thirty people, and that meant something was always cooking in the kitchen. All of my grandmother's recipes went back to her grandmother.
It was a big story and yesterday's soup. Who cares?
Just do the math. In the next 50 to 75 years, people will be living to be 130 and 140. They'll be working until they're 100. It's incredible.
I get all fired up about aging in America.
Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics, warts and all; and, from belonging to a family that accepts you without question.
I'm Southern Baptist, not a meteorologist.
Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody ever seems to do anything about it.
You go from Pampers to Depends!
Take a microphone out of my hands, and I'm just plain folks.
The TV weatherman has always been one of the best, most secure jobs. They change anchors, they change the set, producers come and go. But the weather person hangs on forever!
Now that I'm a grandfather myself, I realize that the best thing about having grandkids is that you get the kid for the best part of the ride - kind of like owning a car for only the first 10,000 miles. You can have your grandchildren for a couple of days and then turn them back over to the parents.
I've always had a reputation as a buffoon.
I think women can cope a lot better than men.
I wore dresses all the time. I like to wear dresses.
The critics - how come you never see any of them on TV?
I got more mail than anybody on the history of The Today Show, but half of it was to get me off the air.
Nature's a tranquilizer as you get older.
Never slap a man who chews tobacco.
Thanksgiving just gets me all warm and tingly and all kinds of wonderful inside.
I had the privilege of having two sets of loving grandparents.
It's simply a tragedy that anyone today goes blind from glaucoma, when it's so unnecessary.
In high school, I weighed 175 to 180. I looked like Abraham Lincoln. I was 6-foot-3, biggest thing in the class, but tall, not fat.
Viewers figure, 'Uncle Willard doesn't know any more about the weather than I do.' They're right.
I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.
As an only child, I never felt insecure and always had total love.
When something's over with me, it's over.
Having a phobia has changed me.
When I can, I do 25 minutes of calisthenics every day.
There is something endearing about the weatherman.
I still start to get panicky each morning before I go on television. I'll say, 'I'm in awful shape, something is wrong,' and if I start to look like I'm going off the deep end, Jimmy Straka, the stage manager, will say, 'You're all right. Calm down.' Then Bryant Gumbel will grab me by the leg or something.
I'm a country boy.
