More quotes by Barbara Walters
I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world, at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.
Barbara Walters
I first interviewed Fidel Castro 39 years ago. He was charming and fiercely guarded about his private life. He called our interviews 'fiery debates.' During our times together, he made clear to me that he was an absolute dictator and that he was a staunch opponent of democracy.
Barbara Walters
Don't worry about finding your bliss right now. Not even our President knew what his bliss was, nor did I. One of these days to your own surprise, your bliss will find you. But no matter what you do, participate, be there, full force, full heart, full steam ahead.
Barbara Walters
Most of us have trouble juggling. The woman who says she doesn't is someone whom I admire but have never met.
Barbara Walters
A conversation isn't a competition.
Barbara Walters
For Castro, freedom starts with education. And if literacy alone were the yardstick, Cuba would rank as one of the freest nations on Earth.
Barbara Walters
Because there are so many shows on and because I've been so hands-on - I've had a piece on almost every single week - I don't know how to cut back on that. You really can't.

Barbara Walters
[President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be -- I shouldn't say this at Christmastime -- but the next messiah.
Barbara Walters
To excel is to reach your own highest dream. But you must also help others, where and when you can, to reach theirs. Personal gain is empty if you do not feel you have positively touched another's life.
Barbara Walters
Being a parent is tough. If you just want a wonderful little creature to love, you can get a puppy
Barbara Walters
The feeling is that Fidel Castro's much bigger than he actually is.
Barbara Walters
If it's a woman, it's caustic if it's a man, it's authoritative.
Barbara Walters
To not sing with an orchestra, to not be able to communicate through my voice, which I've done all my life, and not to be able to phrase lyrics and give people that kind of joy, I think I would be totally devastated.
Barbara Walters
A woman can do anything. She can be traditionally feminine and that's all right she can work, she can stay at home she can be aggressive she can be passive she can be any way she wants with a man. But whenever there are the kinds of choices there are today, unless you have some solid base, life can be frightening.
Barbara Walters
Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people.
Barbara Walters
Children are God's way of punishing us for having sex.
Barbara Walters
Most attractive males talk to most attractive women as if they were Rotarians comparing sales percentages in Des Moines.
Barbara Walters
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
Barbara Walters
New York is a galaxy of adventure at once elegant, exciting and bizarre. It's a city that moves so fast, it takes energy just to stand still.
