It's hard to believe it's been that long, but I'm so happy that TCM continues to be a success with audiences today, i think that sense of nostalgia that comes with watching old movies gives people a lot of joy, Ted Turner included ; and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I think Captain Cousteau might be the father of the environmental movement.

Looking back, if I had to live my life over, there are things I would do differently, but the one thing I would not change is my charitable giving. I'm particularly thankful for my father's advice to set goals so high that they can't possibly be achieved during a lifetime and to give help where help is needed most. That inspiration keeps me energized and eager to keep working hard every day on giving back and making the world a better place for generations to come.

I believe in a reasonable amount of "right to bear arms". But private citizens of the United States are not allowed to own nuclear weapons. I always wanted a nuclear weapon, if I could have gotten one. I'm every other kind of power, but I'm not a nuclear power.
