• Television has its own award. It's called the Emmy. It's a good award. I like it. I have one. But you don't see movies like 'The King's Speech' win Oscars and then go to TV and qualify for Emmys. In documentaries, some networks have been able to game the system.

That is my favorite recollection.

• I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied. People are like, "You've got all these number ones!" "Yeah...what else?"

I haven't even gotten a Grammy, yet I've already decided I want an Emmy.
