He hired me back in 1990, and I remember he told me when he hired me, remember, we're the cable news, capital N, capital E, capital W, capital S. We're the cable-news network. This is where the news comes first, and your vacations and everything else comes second."
"I saw him a few months ago in Atlanta, and we had lunch, and it was just so painful to see how he had deteriorated his health over the years because a while earlier, I went out to Montana, spent some time with him at his ranch out there, and it was a very different kind of Ted Turner at that time, but it was just painful and we're going to miss him."
"We wouldn't be here without Ted Turner, CNN wouldn't be here without Ted Turner."
