Since my retirement, I've spent a lot of time trying to help the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina. A society like this just can't afford an uneducated underclass of citizens.

Kids are always asked, What are you going to be when you grow up? I needed an answer. So instead of saying, a fireman, or a policeman, I said, a reporter.

Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.

I'm not any kind of social reformer.

Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.

TV critics, who traditionally hate television and make their living writing about it, often didn't like what I did on the air.

It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.

Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.

I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.
